On a typical summer day in Buckhorn, visitors bustle and congregate near the locks, which are located right in the centre of the village. Boats line the sides of the canal, awaiting their turn to go through and explore other areas of the Trent-Severn system, and people of all ages can be found wandering up and down the waterway and along the adjacent streets. Restaurants and shops are located right next to the locks, and further afield you will find art galleries and many resorts and inns.
