The locks at Port Carling connect Lakes Muskoka and Rosseau. Locking through in a small boat will run you C$6 one-way, C$10 round-trip. When you're ready to lock through, you pull your boat near the gates and idle until they open, then enter and hold on to the chains on either side of the lock to keep the boat steady. The lock-master comes to you for payment and issues your ticket. And the real fun begins. The locks fill or spill (depending on which direction you're traveling) slowly but discernibly. Takes just a few minutes, and you're on your way. Honestly, I don't know why it tickles me so much to lock through these bad boys, it just does. It's why I give these humble little locks four stars. And the novelty never wears off, no matter how many times we do it. It's like an amusement park ride for adults...not that I don't partake in a little Rebel Yell every now and again. Sometimes you'll catch the Segwun or Winona locking through, too, and that's really a sight to see. read more

Traveled through these locks yesterday and experienced some boat troubles. Our battery had died and seemingly all of the workers at the marina nearby had gone out for a lunch break. Luckily, the operators of the lock were extremely helpful. They helped us get our battery working and even lent us their battery charger for the duration of our trip. On our return, they checked in on us and even handed out Freezies to everyone in the locks. Very kind, very helpful, and it was smooth sailing all throughout the locks. Could have done without the raise in prices of operation, though. read more
