This is a great historic spot along the canal. The lock is still fully operational and you can walk right up to it and the Mohawk River. If you're lucky you will catch a sight of the lock in motion!

Sometimes camping is allowed on lock grounds for through-hikers and bikepackers. When in doubt you can always contact the lock master to be sure.
