Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring rings or bollards are available. River side, there is space for one boat (arrange with lock-keepers). Middle Level side there are good holding moorings, total of about 150 ft.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
This is a lock with a rise of tidal.

Salters Lode Lock is a bit tricky to enter from the river. The turn in has to be made early, even then there is a risk of colliding with the lower entrance wall, fortunately it is (was) lined with tyres. If it looks like the turn in isn't going to be achieved it's best to allow the boat to go downstream then turn around and come in against the flow, which I've done, and it's somewhat easier than the above. The lock keepers will give plenty of advice.
There are also low beams over the lock entrance on the tidal side, which may provide even less headroom than the Middle Level Link route until tide drops.
