We were fortunate enough to still get tickets to ride a boat through the locks and back. The tell you the history of the licks, but also of the bldgs. that are all around. Very clean boat, friendly, and attentive staff who would answer any questions about the boat, lakes, ships, and sights. They also offer refreshments shortly after leaving the dock for a nominal charge, and restrooms are available for both sexes independent from each other Though the tickets were a bit pricey, ( even with our discounts they were $30.00 each), I would certainly recommend this sensational tour of the locks between 2 of Michigan's Great Lakes.

What a cool place! I really like the Canadian side of the locks better than the American. They're much smaller. We took a boat tour through the locks that takes you up the American side and back down through the Canadian side. There were people waving at us from the side of the locks that were visiting from the Canadian side. Pretty cool!

Really well done nature preserve. Trails were excellently maintained and had some good views. It's fun to cross the old locks as well. Note that during rainy or high water times some of the trails can be a bit damp if not completely submerged. Tip: great for a walk with your dog!

Great place to watch the ships moving in the great lakes!! Loved watching all of them go through the locks. Nice double platform for viewing. We went every day of our trip and saw everything from a river cruise ship to a few 1000 footers go through!

It is free to visit, right in downtown, and tons of free parking. There are lots of trails to walk on. There are 20 signs or so explaining the history & development of the site. It is however showing it's age and some neglect. But they're also restoring historic buildings, clean bathrooms open 12 hours a day, and it's free to visit. I spent about 45 minutes walking the trails and 45 minutes looking at the locks.
