Mountain Locks Park preserves part of the old Second Welland Canal, where massive stone lock walls, industrial ruins and fast moving canal water still sit beside the Merritt Trail. The park is one of the most historic sections along the trail network, with remnants of Locks 14 and 15 visible beside the path and interpretive signs explaining how the canal shaped the region’s industrial growth. Forested sections and flowing water soften the industrial landscape, creating an unusual mix of nature and canal history along the creek corridor.
