Description
A charming town on the Red River, Lockport is a popular destination for day-trippers from Winnipeg. The drive to the town, which winds along the riverside, is beautiful, and the peaceful and verdantly green parks that line the riverbanks make the town a lovely spot to while away a Sunday afternoon. A dam and a lock system that give the town its name cause catfish to concentrate here, and the area is known as having some of the best fishing in Manitoba. The dam is also famous for the huge flocks of pelicans that gather there as they migrate.
