Draft: 4.5'We stayed here for two days. Nice little town. The Victoria campground/marina on the south east side has laundry services and water fill up for $10 and pumpout for $35 if needed on the way out.

Draft: 4.5'Stayed on the Parks Canada moorings on the gray dock. No water or power, was given a key to the washrooms to use after hours. <br /> Lots of restaurants and a large grocery within walking distance. Laundry also in walking distance.

Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 25'
Draft: 2.5'Above the lock, multiple tie ups along grey line wall with electric. These tie ups are next to the park with foot traffic. On backside of the blue line south wall, room for 6-8 boats. No electric here, but private since few pedestrians come onto this 'island' between the river and the lock. Lockmaster will provide a key to use restrooms after hours (no showers). Water tap on west end of lockmaster building. Ten minute walk south to large grocery store and one mile walk north to Train Museum. Rideau Canal Museum apparently closed this summer due to staffing issues.
