21 Jun 2023. Going from Kingston to Ottawa we stayed at the bottom of Lock 17. After exiting the lock it is a 180° turn to port and there is a long dock there. There is power available, then walk across the lock wall to a restroom. There is no shower available. We took the tip to tip tour on foot and really enjoyed it. It was a very peaceful night there and a great place to stage for a long run to Ottawa. We departed in the morning when the sun came up at around 5:30 a.m. Sam & Rev on Here's To Us!!, 50' Carver at WhatYachtToDo.com

Wooden floating dock on Ottowa side of lock. Has power, no water. The Kingston side of the lock has a concrete wall with power, no water. Tip to Tip trail is a nice walk with the pups or just to stretch your legs.

There's a 200 foot dock with 30 amp power below the lock. A wall with new outlets above the lock could hold 3 boats. Use of the dock and wall is covered by a Parks Canada Pass. Power costs extra based on the number of outlets used. So, we were charged 2x the usual C$10 for power. Lots of mosquitos but the it is the first day of summer.
