How much money does it cost for this toll
@DIYwithKevin 2 күн бұрын
@Utubeisazzho It depends. There are a number of different passes for traveling the system. If you just went through this lock and back, it's $1.25 per foot, based on the length of your vessel.
@FastlifeTodd 2 күн бұрын
Any idea how many vessels make the passage yearly ?
@DIYwithKevin Күн бұрын
According to Parks Canada, there were 250,000 boat passes annually during the 1980s on the entire lock system, but up-to-date figures are hard to find.

No, you purchase a transit or lock pass depending on how far you plan to travel. I believe there is a seasonal pass for the entire Trent as well.

I'm wondering how they maintain water levels at the Lock.
@DIYwithKevin 16 күн бұрын
Great question! As it was explained to us, the levels of Lake Simcoe remain steady but are regulated by more northern locks such as Swift Rapids. The levels heading southeast are managed by the next lock as well. It seemed to be a pretty low event river.

It looks like the rear sling should have been much more to the rear. I have a similar boat and with the sling in that place, it would be dangerously close to tipping backwards. Cool boat lift anyway, doesn't waste any water from the hydroelectric plant like a regular lock.

Nice to see a video on KZbin about the Peterborough Lift Locks. I live just a few blocks from them. His comment about the approach looking like wilderness was interesting. The canal is separate from the Otonabee river which originally was a long series of rapids which were dammed up, to create water for the canal and provide electrical power, which they still do. The original river is to the east of the canal channel making an island out of the east side of Peterborough, referred as "East City". The road you see along the edge of the canal, Ashburnham Dr. and the area around it is slated for major redevelopment. It's still in the planning stages at this time. One of the casualties of that may be the golf course right beside the Lift Locks. When it is done the area around it will be very different.
@JCJC650 Ай бұрын
The lift with a boat in weighs the same as the lift with only water. Because boats displace water equal to their weight having a boat in one of the lifts doesn't change the weight or pressure on the hydraulics. Because although that lift has a boat in it, it also has less water due to the hull displacing it. This means the load on the hydraulics never changes.

There are two hydraulic lift locks on this canal system as well. Trent-Severn Waterway. One of them, the Peterborough lift lock (20m) is a balanced bathtub lift, not quite as high or as spectacular as Falkirk (24m lift).
