Lock 53 - Clyde
This is a small section of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 53. It was a double chamber lock built in 1841, with a second chamber being added in 1874 and the north chamber being lengthened in 1888. There actually is quite alot still left of the old lock but it was completely covered in brush and mega greenery the day I was there . I was almost gonna enter the forest but then I noticed poison ivy so I decided to wait on it and come back again for a better shot in the fall. This is the lower end of the lock , the outside view. The lock is on private property and is not really maintained. It's located a short distance west from the village of Clyde, NY
