Peterborough is a city full of natural beauty in the heart of Ontario province, Canada. It is home to a remarkable feat of Canadian engineering, the Peterborough Lift Lock, which is part of the historic Trent-Severn Waterway. This unique attraction offers visitors both a glimpse into innovative engineering and stunning views of the surrounding area.

How to reach at Lift-Lock:Β 

To reach Peterborough from downtown Toronto, you have a few options. 

By car, it takes about 1.5 to 2 hours via the Don Valley Parkway (ON-404) north to ON-401 East, then follow ON-115 North and exit at Parkhill Road West, following signs to the Peterborough Lift Lock. 

By bus, the journey takes around 2.5 to 3 hours, with several bus companies offering servicesβ€”book tickets in advance and take a taxi or local transit from the Peterborough bus terminal to the Lift Lock. 

Alternatively, Via Rail offers train services to Cobourg, from where you can take a taxi or bus to Peterborough, providing a scenic but longer route.
