Feeder Canal (1829 - 1920)


The Feeder Canal was used basically as water channel to bring water from the Grand River to the Welland Canal so there really isn't much to see with the exception of a waterway. However there a few remnants left from when small ships would use the canal to transport local goods.


Junction Lock -- Welland, Ontario

There are some remains of the Junction Lock where the Feeder Canal met the Welland Canal. Just past the Ontario Street bridge, make a left towards Highway 58 to Port Colborne and on your left hand side you will see a little park next to the Recreational Canal. It is in this park that the remains are located.

Here are some pictures of the Junction Lock
