eisenhower lock印象

Ocean going vessels transit Snell and Eisenhower Locks in roughly a two mile distance. Eisenhower is the only one that has a visitor center and overlook. Spend a few hours watching huge ships lowered or raised almost ninety feet on their way in or out of the Great Lakes System. Well worth the time and a huge excitement for kids and adults alike.

Our timing was great. We were able to watch a ship come from each direction. They information specialists were very friendly and helpful. They told us about the new Power Authority building. That was our next stop.

Drove up to this place while up in NY fishing. It was closed for some sort of construction work. Quite disappointed. the parking lot on the other side offered an obstructed view, but that was it. There is no signage anywhere to help you find this place, we stopped and asked in Messina, and info on the net seems to be non existent. a simple page with directions, hours, just basic info could not be found. Only went on the recommendations from trip advisor. I suggest calling ahead to see if they are open before wasting time going. The other attraction in the island, a power plant tour, we could not find, also NO signs, at all, there was a security checkpoint, so might have been in there. The gates had a drive up intercom to talk to the guards that would not talk to you. Some nice picnic areas on the island though. I am filling out the info form to the best of my knowledge since it wasn't actually open on my visit.

This is always an amazing place to stop while visiting but don't go at night! I called to get the arrival schedule and the recording said a ship would arrive at 8 PM. We got to the Lock around 7:30 and the Security Person promptly informed us that the ship was in bound but would not make it there in time for us to view it. He told us that we had to leave at 8:45 because the gate was on a timer to close. There were 10 of us that decided to stick it out to catch a glimpse of the ship and around 15 or more that were persuaded to leave by the Security Person. We did go over to the Look Out area but it was further away. The ship was on it's way by 9:15. If we could have stayed until 9 PM as advertised, we could have gotten some great pictures looking into the vessel and watching the water to come back up before it exited the locks. How sad that this fascinating place has a timed gate and not a real person to close up because it is beautiful to see a ship all light up at night passing thru.

My husband and I visited the lock recently and were fortunate enough to observe a very large ship pass through. The observation area is up very high so we could see every aspect of the process. We both marveled at the simplicity of the lock system while understanding the human labor that went into creating it.

Pretty cool seeing big ships pass through. Amazing seeing locks lower and raise ships. Nice visitor center and close by to campground.
-
lots of ongoing construction, hoping they improve it. Gift shop with the usual crap, nothing special. Not worth a stop.

Something kids should experience, can get up close to ships, watch them come into the locks, usually deckhands very friendly
-
The people in charge of information and lookouts are very welcoming and knolidgeble.Amust see those ig commercial ships going through those locks.

It's known as a tourist attraction, and it's pretty neat to see how the big ships are raised in and out of the locks. The water levels are different on each sides and these locks help the ships get through. It's pretty neat to see some of the international ships that come from the ocean and journey into the great lakes, or vice versa. Best time is summer or fall, and the locks eventually close in the winter.
