We drove here as something to do during Covid 19 pandemic. Parking is easy, well marked and plentiful. Grounds are very well maintained and there are benches as well as picnic tables. We brought a picnic lunch with us and had a great lunch watching the boats and boaters glide by. The lock system is definitely one to observe and is whisper quiet and fascinating. We will make sure to come again as it was very easy, comfortable and interesting.

What an experience for New Year's Day. An old fashioned way to celebrate. Haagis, shortbread, scotch eggs. Miss the Athol drink though. It was the highlight. Descrepencies with pricing too. Admission was posted at door then we were all charged $5 more than advertised. After waiting in a long, cold line up though, it wasn't worth the argument.

We often just go to the slots for a night out! Foods quick and cheap, and still alright tasting. Your average casino, but with no tables (hence, "slots") staff are friendly, smoking patio, lots of parking, also a race track for horses and different car races
