History
Construction of the Scotts Mills lockstation
Caption
Constructed: 1907-1912

This was the first of the Ontario - Rice Lake section put out to tender with the firm Aylmer & Brown being awarded the contract. Work finished by 1912, but other sections were incomplete so there was no urgency to make the lock operational. Crowe Bay boasts its own bridge to get to the human-made island that has been fully reconstructed with a dam underneath it.
