These dumps are located on the West side of the Welland Canal just North of the Allanburg Lift Bridge where highway #20 (Lundys lane) crosses the Welland Canal. The dumps are from the dredging of the ship canal. There are numerous rock piles in the area but the main dump is just a bit South of the map marker.
