The bridge height listed is 2 feet wrong. It is actually 16' 2". We are 16' 1". Barely and I mean barely fit. Thankful for construction guys to look at us in the level. They guided us through. Whew!

Wooden floating dock on Ottowa side of lock. Has power, no water. The Kingston side of the lock has a concrete wall with power, no water. Tip to Tip trail is a nice walk with the pups or just to stretch your legs.

Nice large area. Dog friendly. Anchor came up clean and easy. For beach going folks this would be great! Good wind protection from straight north wind. Which is what we had.

Good holding and reasonable protection. Stayed the night and had no issues. Slow no wake sign is just on other side of island from anchorage so no boat wakes either. You could easily access shore and take dog ashore.

Sllloooww opening and closing. No one ever answered on the radio. Honked horn 3 times no help. Finally called Indiantown Marina where we had stayed and they gave us a number to call. They said when train passes to hail on 9 again. 10 minutes later train came, hailed on radio, 5 minutes later bridge opened.

  The proper horn signal for a bridge opening is one long blast followed by one short blast.

Beautiful anchorage. Sandy/mud bottom. We were all alone so it was very quiet. Great place for an overnight.
