Of Interest: Edmunds features one of the few overflow dams on the Rideau system. A combination arch stone overflow dam and weir, the dam keep the water level at navigation depth while the weir provides an outlet for excess water, especially during spring runoff. A pretty white clapboard lockstation house and large verdant grounds mark the peaceful rural setting of Edmonds. Notes: There are no nearby facilities.
