Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 31'
Draft: 3.0'Newboro. 6/7/2024. Nice town and one of three hydraulic locks. Power is at the top of the lock on the north wall that can accommodate three to four boats. The wood walk and tile surface around the lock appear new. The nearby village is small and pleasant with several eateries. I patronized and recommended the Stagecoach for a meal enjoying a luxurious seating arrangement. There are no showers for transients at the lock or in the town.

Vessel Type: Power
LOA: 39'
Draft: 3.5'Shore power available at locks. Overnight mooring below locks. A bit of a hike to the village centre where there are a few restaurants and Kilborn's, the most unusual general store. From food, to Tiley hats, lots of high end clothing to furniture and kitchen equipment, it is worth the walk.
