 Hogsback - Locks by janika
What you see there is a man made dam to control the water levels of the Rideau river. The history of this place goes back as early as 1845. The upper part of the river is very wide and it is part of Moonies bay.
The gates of the dam is usually closed in the summer time and they are wide open in the winter. When they close the gates, one or two still remains open. Partially anyways. The tremendous water pressure from the upper part blows the water through the gates and creates huge mist and noise. Leave a Comment

 Ottawa Locks by HORSCHECK
The 8 locks are all hand-operated by the lockmaster and his canal staff. Passing through a lock takes about 15-20 minutes and it is interesting to watch the action. Leave a Comment Directions: The locks are located between Chateau Laurier and Parliament Hill in the centre of Ottawa.

A very small scale panama canal! Leave a Comment Address: Downtown, close to the Chateau Laurier Hotel

The canal was constructed from 1826 to 1832 connecting the Rideau Canal to the Ottawa River; the locks continue to open and close by hand. The Rideau River falls 30 feet in a set of twin falls with the Sappers Bridge along the Ottawa River above and the Lockmaster's stone building at the head of the locks. We watched as the lockmaster's oiled the 9 locks and manually pulled them opened & shut allowing 6 vessels at a time to move up the canal. Leave a Comment Address: Look below the Railway Terrace.Directions: Between Chateau Laurier and Parliament Hill in the centre of Ottawa.

When visiting Ottawa one must walk from the Rideau Center toward the River and walk along the paved path. You can take this walk at night--this area is safe--toward the canal locks and walk along the top of the "gates" to the other side. During the day or night you can experience a beautiful part of Ottawa. Leave a Comment Directions: Between Chateau Laurier and Parliament Hill in the centre of Ottawa.
