Canow lock, Navigation lock in Wustrow, Germany.

Canow Lock is an inland navigation lock on the Müritz-Havel Waterway, between the Labussee and the Canower See, in Wustrow. Its chamber, 41.60 m long and 5.30 m wide, is closed by mitre gates and overcomes an average drop of 1.30 m between the two lakes. It is operated on site by the Oder-Havel waterways authority's Canow district.

The lock developed as a key part of Germany's inland waterway network, supporting commercial shipping and regional growth over many decades. It was integrated into an existing infrastructure to improve connectivity between different water routes.

The lock is operated on site by staff of the Canow outpost of the Oder-Havel waterways authority. Since water tourism grew on the Mecklenburg Lake District, it has become one of the busiest locks in the region, used by passenger and recreational boats from mid-March to the end of November.

Boats can use the lock during daylight hours, with operating times varying by season and clear signs showing navigation procedures. Visitors should note that maintenance work may occasionally result in closures.

The lock sits where multiple waterways meet, creating a natural viewing point to watch the technical process of water level adjustment. This location draws both boat operators and curious visitors who want to see how this engineering system works in action.
