Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 50'
Draft: 4.5'9 Jul 2023. The Beauharnois lock upbound is quite an experience. An expected locking time is just that! We were blessed with a French speaking buddy boat by chance and got to know them. Bring your patience and also plan for the two upbound bridges. We were told we would have to wait for 1.5 hours. Rafted off our buddy boat who anchored, but then he called them as a storm was approaching and they opened it in 15 minutes. Bring a ton of patience.

Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 25'
Draft: 2.5'Reservation and payment online. Your reservation time can change daily, so check. Lockmasters do not want or expect VHF communication. Tie up to wait may be necessary ias commercial traffic has priority. Watch for green light and overhead speaker instructions. For downbound, lock staff will throw you lines for bow and stern from the port side of this lock.
