Lock 39 - Portage
Lock 39, isolated from road traffic, is a very popular spot with well-maintained grounds and a reasonably large boater camping area. It is an easy walk down a gravel road or a short bike ride to the Talbot Dam, a popular tourist spot for the two-week pickerel run in mid-April and whitefish run in the fall.
