History
Constructed: 1882-1885
By the 1870s Fenelon Falls had railway links but civic leaders lobbied for the construction of a canal route as well. In 1882 the Government approved the construction of a flight lock and awarded the contract to A.F. Manning. The flight lock was replaced by a single concrete lock in 1964. The lock was very popular with steamboat operators in the past and remains a busy station to this day.
