Third Welland Canal Spillway Gate (The Rush or The Showers)

(Satellite)

Here we have a popular Summer destination back when I was a kid.  Been decades since I've been anywhere near it - and I don't know if the public still has access to it.  This is what I think is called the Spillway Gate on the Third Welland Canal.
[Several comments referred to it as The Rush or The Showers.]
According to some comments, gates now prevent driving there, but one can still walk there. But one is no longer supposed to walk in the outflow.]

Jon Lawrence commented on Ron's post
This was when they drain the reservoir up top. Only seen it happen once.

This is the reservoir to which Jon is reffering. It inundates locks 20-22.
