★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If visiting by car/bus/foot: beautiful area and excellent access to the Lift Lock. You can get right up close and even walk the foot path that goes underneath the upper channel. Best view of this marvel is from the bottom. Very nice parkland.
If visiting by boat: be careful of depth as the west side of the channel only looks to be no more than 4' in places. Very weeded when traffic is low. If draft is a concern, best stick to tying up on the east side (upbound side).

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A hidden gem, national historic site. The locks are pretty impressive and the walk along the canal is very refreshing. We enjoyed the lowering and lifting of the locks and makes it even more spectacular when you know it was built in 1904

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Well worth a visit even if only as a spectator and not "locking through". Quite a marvel of engineering considering it's age of over one hundred years. Some decent geocaching too if that's your thing...

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ More fun than I expected - pretty cool to see the locks in action, but just in general it's in a nice spot, plenty of green space, picnic tables, ample parking, and not too far removed from town. Definitely a good spot for a summer afternoon

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place is fantastic in the winter. The ice is great, lots of room for everyone to enjoy and its blocked from the wind as the ice is down in the waterway. The ice is maintained well and lots of parking around for everyone. Plan to visit next winter for sure.
