About This Dive Spot
Lock 20 is located at coordinates 45.200100, -74.332500 and is accessible via shore entry. The site is part of the St. Lawrence Seaway, which was established in 1958 to accommodate larger vessels traveling to the Great Lakes.

The underwater landscape features remnants of these submerged structures, providing a unique diving experience. Visibility and conditions can vary, so divers should be prepared for changing underwater environments.
