Lock Tours Canada

A tug goes through the Canadian Soo Locks.

The Canadian lock tour operates on a smaller scale than the American tour, with one boat, and a shorter season. Both tours take the same route on their two-hour trips, going through locks on both the American and Canadian sides, going under the International Bridge, and passing Algoma Steel. Local historical groups have worked with Lock Tours Canada to improve the narration, which probably gives it an edge over the American tour as it was in 2000. Because the tour starts on the Sault Ontario waterfront, you see more of it up close. There's also a dinner cruise ($46 Canadian, $32.35 U.S.) that gets you out on the water at a beautiful time, but distracts

Tours at 12:30 and 3 p.m. Call (877) 226-3665 for schedule and reservations. www.locktours.com The dock is downtown by the Bondar Pavilion. Operates from June into mid October. Adults $25, youth 13-18 $20, 5-12 $12.50. Under 4 free. Wheelchair-accessible.
