It's an old hotel (1877), dating from a long, long time ago for Canadian history. The newer motel-type rooms have air conditioning. They have modern conveniences, like Wifi!
They have a continual number of visitors. People tended to boat up for treats at the snack bar (which hadn't opened, as of June 24th) or to come from dinner. Many folks are just passing through the locks. It's a place with a lot going on. It took us a day to explore the area around the locks, (Tour of Jones Falls Museums). I met an interesting woman who had a cottage along the canal. She said her family had cottaged here for years. It's changed, she said. I would say she was in her 70s and she remembers her grandfather meeting friends here to have fishing weekends. The chairs lined the lawn. People were dressed differently, and there was a different atmosphere!
Lots of geese, and goslings around. There is a heron that visits back and forth, seeking morsels. The water snake was huge, looking for breakfast, as well.
