The Grand River Navigation Company

During the early 1800s, the Grand River connected the Welland Canal at Dunnville with the town of Brantford, a distance of about 60 miles.  Remnants of a succession of dams and locks remain.  While walking or navigating the river, visitors can discover these dams and locks between Indiana and Oneida, a distance of approximately nine miles.  Additional locks appear at Bunnell's Landing near Brantford.  The whole ascent gained by the locks was 33 feet.
