Lock 61 - Macedon
This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 61 (Upper Macedon Lock), , built in 1862. This is a view of the south chamber which is filled with alot of greenery. I had to walk through an old enclosed walkway , pedestrian covered bridge, to get this shot ( it appears that they don't use this walkway anymore--it was in bad shape and there was some broken glass ) . This pedestrian covered bridge served as a walkway which allowed the employees that worked in the Plastics Plant to cross over the old canal bed to get to the parking lot on the other side of it. This is a double chamber lock with the other chamber being used as an active spillway for Lock 30 of the Barge Canal. This is located in the village of Macedon, NY off of Route 31. You turn onto Route 31 F/ 350 and it is next to the empty parking lot to your right just across the street from the present Barge Canal Lock 30. This lock is sorta hidden with bushes and hard to see.
