Beginning October 10, the Port Carling Large Lock will be temporarily closed at the request of Muskoka Steamships Association for dry dock inspections and maintenance. The anticipated re-opening is November 7.  

The Small Locks will remain open and continue operating self-serve passage for vessels between Lake Muskoka and Lake Rosseau.   

The District says that without the use of the Large Lock for these mandatory inspections by Transport Canada, the ships would be unable to continue sailing our lakes.
