Locks

The Rideau Canal features 47 locks in 24 lockstations, which can be visited by car, boat, bicycle, or on foot. Manicured lawns with picnic tables surround each lock, and camping (with washroom facilities) is available at many of the lockstations (excluding the Ottawa and Smiths Falls Combined lockstations). Parking costs range from $1.00 to $4.00, although there is no cost associated with the day use of the lockstations themselves.
