Morris Canal Lock at Waterloo Village
The shallow stone channel with water pouring from the remains of the canal lock. It originally was about twelve feet deep but was filled in with rubble when the canal was abandoned.
The Morris Canal was designed with lift locks, guard locks, aqueducts that were built over rivers, and inclined planes, enabling barges to pass through the waterways, which differed in elevation by as much as 700 feet.
Overcoming such differences in elevation is what made this canal extraordinary
