Today the South End of the Lancaster Canal comes to a dead end only about 350 yards from the junction with the Leeds & Liverpool Canal at Johnson's Hillock, near Whittle-le-Woods. A "No Entry" sign at the junction forbids boats to disturb the local wildlife, though pedestrians may sit and cast bread upon the waters to watch the ducks scrambling for a slice of the action.
