Port Colborne Ontario ~ Canada ~ Viewing Area Lock #40

A viewing platform is located near the corner of West Street and Sugarloaf Street, where Lock 40 was once located. Lock 40 was the rst lock on the canal when entering from Lake Erie. It was built in the early 1830s and removed during subsequent expansions of the canal. The viewing platform is the only vantage point along the entire Welland Canals Corridor to see remnants of all four Welland Canals. Along the west wall of the canal is the location of the channel of the rst Welland Canal, then the locks of the second and third canals, and the inner harbour of the fourth or current Welland Canal
