Lock 27 - Pattersonville
This is the general area where Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 27, Phillip's Lock, would have been located. It's buried with no stones exposed. If you walk west from the defunct Adirondack Power and Light Plant (now the Cranesville Block Co.) - following the power lines, you can see where the grade of the road rises. Then you come to a Terwilliger Creek ( the culvert allows Terwilliger Creek to pass under Route 5S and empty into the Mohawk River). Thats where the lock was, just before the creek. The lock abutted the culvert (near the left side) over the creek. It's filled in, there is a high tension tower right in the middle of the lock. ( I want to thank the Yahoo Erie Canal Group for the info on the location of this lock) ----- I found a little more info on the lock after doing a little checking - it was a double chamber lock, lengthened at the foot on the berme side with a 8.120 lift,west. This culvert is located on the south side of Route 5S in Pattersonville,NY
