97,1 km – 97,4 km
Smiths Falls Detached Lockstation is located on the south side of the river and is at the west end of a 300-m excavated channel. A concrete stoplog weir crosses the river, creating a slackwater section to Poonamalie Lockstation. A prominent feature just to the west of Smiths Falls Detached is the Sherzer Rolling Bascule Bridge. This historic railway bridge is a national historic site of Canada. It is, however, not included in the property because the Parks Canada Agency does not own it.
One lock – A manually operated lock with a lift of 2,4 m, 1830. CRM1.
Storehouse – A two-storey frame building, now the lockstation office, 1935. CRM2.
