History
Constructed: 1837-1843
The 1841 lock at Whitla’s Rapids allowed steamers access from the Otonabee River to Peterborough and this is the only lock left to retain its original masonry. The original surveyor Nicol Hugh Baird worked under Lieutenant-Colonel John By during the construction of the Rideau Canal. Today, Scotts Mills sits in the middle of a vibrant community which is also home to the Trent-Severn Waterway Headquarters.
