If your stamina allows, gear down and climb the 60’ ascent back to the Locks District!
Lockport began with the digging of the canal and the building of the locks, and immediately became famous because of them. Come see the canal like it exists nowhere else in the entire NYS Erie Canal Corridor. The towpath begins and ends in Lockport today. No longer does it connect as it originally did.Come see why people come from all over the country and the world, just to ride on our towpath!
