One of the locks on the Trent-Severn Waterway. The park on both sides of the lock is a nice spot to picnic with views of Lovesick Lake. The Burleigh Falls, a series of rapids that the lock by-passes, are another pretty spot and are located 5-10 min walk south of the lock just off of Hwy 28 on Old Burleigh Rd.
Burleigh Falls is both a geological feature and a small community in Peterborough County, Ontario, Canada. The falls form the boundary between the municipality of North Kawartha to the north and the municipality of Selwyn to the south.

Conservation area with seven caves to explore, 15 km of trails, a beach, campground and canoe rentals. The caves vary in length from 40-90 m and are fairly easy to explore. Wear clothes you don't mind getting dirty and make sure you have a flashlight or headlamp, or purchase a headlamp on-site. The nearby Indian River has flat water that is good for a leisurely paddle. The fifty campsites are unserviced.
See pre-Columbian Indigenous rock carvings. The whole park is quite low key and is run in conjunction with a local First Nation (Indigenous people). No photos are allowed, however the experience is breathtaking. The art work of the original inhabitants of the landscape is recorded in stone. Hiking trails and some lakes are also in the park as is plentiful wildlife. Easy-to-moderate hiking trails 1-5½ km. Paths from the parking lots to the Learning Place and petroglyph site are barrier-free. A parking lot closer to the petroglyph site and Learning Place is available for senior citizens and others who cannot walk long distances.
