The lock is currently being secured overnight as part of our efforts to manage water levels within standard operating hours. The Anchor lock was recently added to this schedule after it was found left open overnight on several occasions, which contributed to low water levels along the stretch. Going forward, the lock will be open daily from 10:00am to 4:00pm, seven days a week. These hours will remain in place until water levels have sufficiently recovered. We'll remove the timing restriction and update this notice once conditions improve.
