Lockport: Home of Historic River Locks, White Pelicans & Great Catfish Fishing
The Heart of Canada
Lockport in the early 1900s was the point at which boats carrying cargo north were shunted from the Winnipeg side of the Red River to the Lake Winnipeg side on their journeys north. Today, it is best known as a great fishing spot, where fishermen compete with white pelicans for the catch of the day. Of course, Skinners is an historic icon in the area, serving giant hot dogs to day-trippers for decades. It competes with the Half Moon Drive-In, a throwback to the 1950s and 60s, just a kilometer away.
Driving over the narrow bridge on Hwy 44. you can look down on the old locks and channel, which are still maintained but not in use.
