Merrickville Locks - a flight of three locks and lockmaster's house on the UNESCO World Heritage Site Rideau Canal.

The Merrickville locks are located at the earliest mill site on the Rideau River, that of Roger Stevens, who built a mill here in about 1790. But it was William Mirick, who, a couple of years later, took over the mill and established a community which was thriving by the time of canal construction. The locks bypassed the mills, leaving them intact, allowing Mirick to continue his business. They are spaced out, three detached locks, taking advantage of the natural topography. The largest blockhouse on the Rideau, built here in 1832, is now operated as a museum. Merrickville is known as the “Jewel of the Rideau” and features many beautiful heritage buildings as well as many shops (including Friends of the Rideau's "The Depot", located adjacent to the Blockhouse). The Rideau Migratory Bird Sanctuary is located just upstream from Merrickville.
