Lock 27 at Youngs Point was a pleasant stop. We were planning to stay on the upper lock wall to get qn early start in the morning, but space is limited to about eight boats and the lock area I a favorite with the local boaters. However, the lower lock wall has space for about five boats and it is a very short walk between the upper and lower lock walls. There is an interesting Lockside Trading Post in that while in addition to various souvenirs and knick-knacks, it is also a furniture store that sells ice cream. It is a short 3-5-minute walk from the lower lock wall to the LCBO and a very small general store. We had an early dinner at the Lock 27 Tap and Grill, which is a 10-minute walk from the lower lock wall. The restaurant sits at the edge of the waterway with nice outdoor seating, and offers a variety of dishes that are all very large portions and can easily be shared by two people. The lock area is very pet friendly.

Limited space, available, but well worth the stop over. Good shopping at Lockside trading, Old Bridge Inn good restaurant as well as others in the immediate area. Small grocery store/agency store within 5 minute walk.
