Lovely spot, had a great night. A few fishermans left with the sunset, two arrived at 8 in the morning but no one said anything.

As described. Nice view of the water. Quiet and flat

Stayed for one night, some locals here fishing but generally very quiet night. Mostly flat spots, though the driveway down to the parking is narrow it wouldn't be suitable for very big rigs. We are in a leisure travel and it was perfectly fine.

petit stationnement, limite pour virer un 24 pi avec des gens de stationnés. nous nous sommes fait avertir qu'il n'acceptait pas de campeur pour la nuit ( personnel de l'écluse). ok pour un pic-nic ou une pause avec les enfants avec le parc et la petite plage adjacente

Parking un peu limite pour un 24 pied... Nous nous sommes fait avertir qu'il était impossible de dormir dans le stationnement ou sur le site.

Tout de même une belle place pour un arrêt avec des tables à picnic près de l'écluse et pour dégourdir les jambes des enfants avec les jeux de parc et d'eau ainsi que la petite plage qui sont adjacents à l'écluse.

Great quiet place by the lake to spend the night. Washrooms closed at 6pm though. More washrooms in parks nearby.

Vraiment un bel endroit pour dormir. Très achanlandé dans le jour, les gens partent vers l’heure du souper. Très calme. Les toilettes ne sont pas accessibles le soir ni la nuit. Il y a des tables de picnic de disponibles. L’entrée est très difficile à voir. C’est juste après le pont sur la rue Maria. Je le recommande.

Great place to spend the night. Plenty of parking. The Beavermead campground was under construction. Awesome bike path and great green area to relax. Some noise due to close road but seen a lot worst.

As others said this is a quiet out of the way lot. Lots of people during the day but after dark we were alone. A couple of cars drove in later in the evening but did not stay long. The roadway into the lot is deceiving as it is quite narrow and at first we thought it was a bicycle path. Fortunately a car was coming out so we knew we were in the right place.

Tranquille, un autre van ici avec ns.
À côté des écluses, durant l’après-midi il y a des gens qui pêchent. Joli parc. L’entrée n’est pas évidente. À côté du petit pont, rue Maria.

Pulled in here around 7pm, there were a fews older guy's having coffee. Two more cars showed around 9 and midnight. Overall a good night for a stop over....very quiet. We are in 24ft campervan not a huge parking lot but adequate.

A nice place to stay. Busy during the day with people cycling, walking fishing etc. It wasn't until about an hour after dark before all was quiet. A peaceful night though without anyone checking up. There wasn't anyone in the lock keeper's house but the washroom was open.

ATTENTION
I think the parking is part of the Park Canada lock. And camping is not allowed in Park Canada elsewhere than in designated campgrounds. Therefore you might get evicted during the night.

Since we were in early May, the campgrounds are not open yet so we decided to take a chance and spend the night. We slept well the whole night. Really quiet place.

I drove through Beavermead park but decided it didn't seem private enough. There were a few vehicles parked there but no vans or RVs. This spot seems way better. No one can see you from the road.

There was one person that drove in at around midnight but didn't stay. I didn't see what that was about. The spot was quiet the whole night.

There were several fisherman right at the crack of dawn.

Parking lot that is not visible from the road, next to Lick 20 on the Trent Severn Waterway. suitable for vehicles up to 27' long. View of the lake, adjacent to (but not visible from) splash pad and playground. Fishing from shore permitted in season and with a permit. Entry is from Maia St on the south side just west of the Maria St. bridge.
