Lift Locks
Enjoy this 2-hour sightseeing cruise as you are entertained by the Captain’s colourful commentary on the history of Peterborough and the Trent Severn Waterway. The tour takes us across Little Lake, past the Peterborough Centennial Fountain and into the City of Peterborough portion of the 114-year-old lock system. The first traditional lock raises the boat 12 feet. The highlight of the trip however is where you go up and over the Peterborough Liftlock, the world’s highest hydraulic Liftlock which lifts the boat 65 feet or 19.8m above the city!
Look carefully at the photo above and you will see the sightseeing boat, complete with passengers on the right hand side of the liftlock half way up to the top!
