We visited here recently and were greeted by friendly staff who were warm and welcoming. That's where the nice experience ended. Facilities are not very nice. Inside needs a renovation (or a good cleaning), outside the deck overlooks a dilapidated marina shop. Fuel truck was refilling gas pumps and it smelled bad so we stayed inside until it left - waitress explained we should be thankful we weren't there when they pumped the septic. Food wasn't very good and was overpriced. Hamburger was undercooked. Mouse turds in the kids highchair, etc... Had a great time at the Big Chute, just wish there were more eating options.

We stopped here and took a look at the Big Chute Marina in Ontario. This is a way for boats to get from lake to lake.

The Big Chute marine railroads themselves are splendid, interesting, historic, well maintained and clean like all the TSW lock stations. As one of the taxpayers who financially support Parks Canada,the operator, it irks me to see their management not taking greater opportunity to profit from our assets. Canada is desperate for tourist attractions and The Big Chute Marine Railway ought to be renowned. We frequently take guests out to see it.The operators of the TSW would do well to check out how the Falkirk Wheel, a lift lock in Scotland, and a compatible attraction,is run. The Falkirk Wheel must be a cash cow. There is a nice pub there at Falkirk with a good restaurant, for 16 UK pounds you can go up and down the Wheel in a "bateau Mouche", even through a tunnel dug under a Roman Wall, they have a museum and a lovely gift shop too, ample parking for cars and buses for hundreds of visitors who come to see it.

Great place to visit. The only marine railway in North America.Quite unique. We have taken our boat over the chute. Lots of fun.

No ships were going through when we visited, but we still found the site extremely interesting and educational. There are several informative panels covering the history of the marine railway and the technical aspects of the lifts. It's a little off the beaten path, but worth the trip if you're interested in seeing a one-of-a-kind engineering feat.
