I believe there is only 1 lock at St. Peter's (double gate, but one
lock), and a swing bridge.
There is another bridge at Iona to make it up through the narrows if you
want to enter/exit from
the North.

Hi Bill,
The lake is connected to the North Atlantic by two natural channels;
the Great and Little Bras d'Or Channels which pass on either side of
Boularderie Island. The great Bras d'Or is large enough for
ocean going ships such as smaller Cruise Ships and for bulk (gypsum)
freighters. The southern tip of the lake is connected to the Atlantic
Ocean via the St. Peters Canal, two locks and a swing bridge to get
in, first built for shipping traffic in the 1860s.

That does look pretty amazing – looks like two locks and a lift
bridge to get in?
Deep water?

We are currently on a two week tour of the Bras D'or lakes in Nova
Scotia sitting in an isolated anchorage enjoying cocktails in the
cockpit.
For those of you that cruise the lakes are probably one of the
best cruising areas in North America.(well I am biased)
We had a wicked sail yesterday hitting 9.8 as we surfed down a wave.
