Champlain Canalway Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Old Champlain Canal Trail is a mixture of pavement, stone, dirt, and gravel. The trail follows the canal pretty much the entire time, and this particular section leading into Troy passes through the public 4th Street Park.

Old Champlain Canal Junction Lock

Highlight • Monument

This lock was in use until the 1940s when the canal was rerouted. It's possible to explore the area and see the remains of the old canal wall paralleling Canal Street, which is paved over the old canal route. Also, the arched aqueduct is a remnant of even older architecture as it was built in 1869.
