Carrillon Lock Issue

Authored by Sam Crouse
July 4, 2023

We are enroute from Ottawa to the Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club. Yesterday we had to duck into Golden Anchor Marina in Hawkesbury, Ontario due to issues with the Carillon Lock. We are here monitoring the lock situation. Apparently they were blowing fuses getting the door up. Three upbound boats transited around 2PM followed by at least two downbound boats thereafter. They would not guarantee us lockage, so we elected to come into Golden Anchor. Reports of Parks Canada had dispatched a team from Montreal to fix it today.

1) If anyone has up to date information on the status of the lock, please post, email or call us. We are in touch with them, and they indicate they are working it.

2) Also, looking for anyone with experience getting into Royal St. Lawrence Yacht Club from the St. Anne lock direction.
