Port Carling Locks - Port Carling, Ontario, Canada - Waterway Locks, Planes and Lifts on Waymarking.com

The original Port Carling locks were started in 1869 and completed in 1871. It allowed steamships to travel freely between Gravenhurst and Rosseau, bypassing the Baisong rapids. It also allowed The Muskoka Navigation and Hotel Company to expand its fleet. This opened up Lake Rosseau and Lake Joseph to tourists going to resorts and settlers to access their land which was part of the Free Lands Grant.
