History
Rosedale lockstation
Constructed: 1869-1873

Linking Balsam and Cameron Lakes, W. Whiteside was contracted by the province to build a wooden lock, dam, timber slide and bridge at Rosedale to facilitate navigation to the rail link at Coboconk. After the locks were transferred to the Federal Government, a new concrete dam and lock were built.
