Tourism Opportunities
This is rated 4 stars because of the Big Chute Marine Railway. This is a must-see if you're in the area. It works on an inclined plane to carry boats in individual cradles over a change of height of about 60 feet (18 m). It is the only marine railway (or canal inclined plane) of its kind in North America still in use today.
Other nice visits include Coldwater and Severn Falls.
