And you're right, the locks are impressive - the lockmeister can show you the beautiful original brass fittings on the controls. A wonderful trail, complete with eagle sitings, borders the canal in the village - too bad we never got that bike trail along the whole length of the canal like the one along the Erie Canal.

The original canal is no longer in use. The Erie Canal meets the Champlain Canal at Waterford which is just north of Albany. The Erie Canal and Champlain Canal meet where the Hudson and Mohawk rivers meet. The Champlain Canal uses locks on the Hudson to raise and lower boats so they can travel along the river. It's fun to watch. The Champlain Canal has 12 locks between Waterford, NY at the southern end and Lake Champlain at the northern end. The original canal is no longer in use.
