Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 26'
Draft: 3.0'There is no longer any commercial traffic through this lock with the conversion of the U of M steam plant from coal to gas. Accordingly, hours have been cut. As of this writing the lock is open 10-6 Wednesday through Sunday but that is subject to change.<br /> <br /> Lock staff are friendly and lines are provided on one wall.
