Tour the Rideau Canal Locks at Merrickville in the comfort of the RIDEAU KING, a 45 foot vessel licenced to carry 47 passengers. You will enjoy "locking through" three locks that have a total lift of twenty five feet within one of the oldest settlements along the Rideau corridor. 

 On the south side of the locks there is the old Blockhouse, which has been restored by Parks Canada as a tourist site and museum.  The Merrickville Blockhouse, the first and largest of four blockhouses constructed on the Rideau Canal, stands as a reminder of the canal's original purpose in providing a secure military supply rout for Upper Canada. 
 

We would love for everyone to come out and experience a Royal tour on the RIDEAU KING....Feedback is always welcome!
