The "locks" are still pretty popular though with curious onlookers as eager boaters patiently await to get through to the other side. The popular 'Locks' is actually Lock 34 and if you click here you can see it in action. Once on the other side of the lock, the boats
bolt into the open water of the Trent to tow an
excited water skier or drop a line in the water to fish in a quiet
corner somewhere.
I used to spend a lot of time here in the 90's, almost every weekend as a matter of fact and was amazed by how much it had changed. One thing I noticed was the local theatre sadly was boarded up as this was almost full on weekends with the latest films.
One thing I wanted to do this time while taking a picture of the falls, was to finally checkout the Fallsview Restaurant. It always looked so exotic to me. Though the view is quite stunning as you enjoy a meal on the terrace, you will probably find conversation will be difficult as the falls are extremely loud as it powers an hydro-electric dam as well.
