Collect your rental car this morning and travel along the shores of Lake Ontario to Kingston. We recommend you stop in the city of Peterborough en route, which boasts the world’s highest lift locks, literally lifting pleasure crafts 20 metres straight up. Visit the Peterborough Lift Lock Visitor Centre and view the hydraulic lift lock, slides and films about the Trent-Severn Waterway. You will also see a working model and experience the sights and sounds of lift lock construction at the turn-of-the-century. It’s also worth taking the time to visit Fort Henry National Historic Site near Kingston. A living museum of military life, Fort Henry was built between 1832 and 1834 to repel an American invasion that never came. The fort, once the largest military establishment in Upper Canada, now offers visitors a glimpse of a soldier’s life of those days, through guided tours, soldier’s parades and drills.
