  Have been a few times for fishing or just walking around taking in the scenery. There are lots of interesting things to learn about or just take a picnic and watch the boats come in.

  this is a wonderful area for families. many go here to picnic and spend some time outside. watch the boats go up and down the river and see how the locks work. follow the path downstream and you can find the local rock climbing site and fishing spot.

  This place is nice and quiet for a visit but not much there to do to go more than once. We cycled out from Kingston which in itself was quite pleasant.

  The grandchildren really enjoyed following the boats through the multiple locks. The Parks Canada staff were very informative and even let the kids help with the locks. We saw mink and turtles.

  This place is absolutely stunning. We watched while the locks were operated which was fascinating to see. The locks are still operated manually and the operators are very friendly and enjoy talking to visitors. We had our dog with us and the surrounding area is a mecca for wildflowers. Our dog loved this place as much as we did - we were on our way to Ottawa or we could have stayed for a relaxing picnic. If you are visiting in the summer (or warm day) bring a picnic or some wine and sit at one of many picnic tables and enjoy the flowers and sound of rushing water!

  Always like a nice country drive to the historic locks! Great view, can see them operating in the summer! Great place to stop, walk around, and even take a picnic! Close to the City and worthwhile seeing!

  Bring a lunch, maybe something to grill, and a camera. This place is beautiful and serene with places to sit and enjoy the sights. There are picnic table steps from the gates. The gates are all wood and operated manually by a team of hard working chain crankers. They really hustle. While you're here, strike up a conversation with some of the boat owners passing through. My only regret is that I didn't have my fishing gear with me.

  A quaint spot just minutes from Kingston and worth the visit. If you are able to see a passing boat and the locks functioning, even better. A good spot for a break when you are touring about.

  We had not planned a trip to locks, but stumbled upon them when taking a long detour due to a bicycle race in downtown Kingston. This Parks Canada facility has college students operating the locks as pleasure craft travel up the Rideau Canal. The staff is very open to answering questions and the area is very scenic. I am so glad we found this spot.
