History
Constructed: 1895-1898
Located in the middle of the 6 mile stretch between Peterborough and Lakefield is Lock 24. This part of the Otonabee River was documented by Catherine Parr Trail as a notorious and dangerous series of rapids and waterfalls. It wasn't until the locks and dams were completed in 1898 that travel became much easier and today many paddlers take advantage of the scenic stretch.
