Spent one night here above the lock because the other locks toward Simcoe Lake were full; we all were waiting for the strong winds to die down on the lake. Picnic tables readily available but newly planted trees meant there was more shade below the lock. Only room for 2 boats our size above the lock. Very peaceful setting. An easy half mile walk to the next lock which can be seen from this lock.
