Of Interest: This flight of two locks sits adjacent to the campus of Carleton University. The modern City of Ottawa skyline belies the 19th century feel of this lockstation. Cycling paths adjacent to the canal from Ottawa pass through Hartwells on their way to Hogs Back. The white clapboard lockmaster’s house hides the original stone first storey. The poor living conditions of the original building (cold and damp, like all of the stone defensible lockmaster’s houses) led to a renovation in 1901 when a second storey and interior walls were added. The Experimental Farm borders the locks. Notes: Gas is available just a short way downstream of the lock at Dows Lake Pavilion
