Lock 20 and Lockhouse Number 12 in the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historic Park. The lockhouse is called the Great Falls Tavern. It was built in 1828. It now serves as a visitors center. Some of the lockhouses on the C&O Canal can be rented. Part of the towpath can be seen on the left. It's great for hiking, jogging, biking or a nature walk. There are several hiking trails here with available maps. A common cycling trip is from Pittsburg to Washington via bicycling. This is also part of Great Falls National Park on the Maryland side of the Potomac River. This is the one I took down a few days ago. The pic quality looked off from the compression. Shot with Rokinon Lens 12mm F/2.0 with camera set to lens off. Distance ∞ at f/20. #NPS #LockHouse12 #Lock20 #C&OCanalNationalHistoricPark #反射 #réflexion #Betrachtung #Schleusenhaus #écluse #Kanalschleuse #運河水門20

On September 9, 2006, following a two-year fundraising effort, the Friends of the Historic Great Falls Tavern christened and launched the replica, double-decked canal packet boat, Charles F. Mercer at Lock 20, Potomac, MD.
Maybe a gopher face? I found this on a railing while watching the Genesee Beer tanks go through the locks on the canal. I didn't have my macro lens with me so it is a cropped shot.

This photo is of the Great Falls Tavern and Six Locks 6 (Tavern Lock) Lock 20 at Maryland's Great Falls / C & O Canal Park (Chesapeake Ohio Canal National Historical Park) in Potomac. It was the last photo of the night I took. Since it was pretty dark out and the mosquitoes were out in full force, I'm glad it turned out.
One tidbit of interest for people familiar with the tavern is that there are no shutters on the building in the photo. I saw on the park's Facebook page that they had been taken down to be painted.
An aerial view of the shallow waters along the north bank of the Mohawk River near Robinson Road reveals the outline of the Old Lock 20, a double-chamber lock with the northern chamber extended. You can even see the recesses for the lock gates!

This is part of what makes Fort Hunter, and the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site
so special: The side by side remains of the Erie from different Canal eras. In the foreground are the stones from Lock 20 of Clinton's Ditch, and in the background Lock 29 (The Empire Lock) of the Enlarged Erie. The walls/stones of Lock 20 are listing badly. In 1980 they filled this lock in with gravel to keep the walls from caving in.
A single stone from Lock 20 at the edge of the Mohawk River. "Fowler's" is the Historic name of this lock. The lock is under the waters of the Mohawk River at the end of Robinson Road. Local residents report having seen the top of the lock when the river was very low. Also boaters with depth finders and GPS have pin-pointed the location. Canal Corporation infrastructure maintenance scheduled for 2008 (or 2011?) calls for lowering the river even further. Perhaps then we will see the remains of Lock 20 above water again (not). Lock E7 and the Day Peckinpaugh are in the faint distance in the photo above which looks east on the Mohawk.
This is Clinton's Ditch Lock 20, the old Empire Lock. This view is looking west ( taken from within the prism ) with a section of Clinton"s Ditch in the center background. This lock was built around 1822 for the original Clinton's Ditch and is one of the few remains of the original Ditch. This lock was only 15 feet wide and had a lift of 4 feet. By 1980 the walls were beginning to collapse so the lock was filled in with gravel and dirt. At present, only the top of the lock is visible. Around 1841 this lock would be abandoned and replaced by the one standing to its right, Enlarged Erie Lock 29, the new Empire Lock. This lock is located at the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site, about a mile east of the Clinton's Ditch Guard Lock in Fort Hunter, NY.
This is one of the original Clinton's Ditch locks, Lock 20, old Empire Lock. This view is looking east. It was built around 1822 and is one of the few remains of the original Erie Canal, known as Clinton's Ditch. The lock was 15 feet wide with a lift of 4 feet. In 1980 the walls were about to collapse so it was filled in with dirt and gravel with only the top of lock remaining visible. It was abandoned in 1841 and was replaced by Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 29, the new Empire Lock which is adjacent to it at this site. This is one of the few spots where you can see the remains of the Erie Canal from two different eras side by side. It is located at the Schoharie Crossing State Historical Site about a mile east of the original Clinton's Ditch Guard Lock ( which is at the edge of Schoharie Creek ) in Fort Hunter, NY.

We went for a somewhat dangerous walk from Roger's Cove to Beavermead this afternoon. Although cold, the strength of the sun causes melting, which in turn freezes into large ice patches. At Lock 20, I could see the frozen canal and melting ice through a small opening in the north end of the lock.
the grand canal on a gorgeous saturday evening in June just out for a ramble ! I got to help this charming couple through the lock a job i havent done in years ! 1 day il hire a boat and sail away
A boat tied up at the entry to Lock 20 of the Trent-Severn Waterway may be waiting for the lock to open. It has probably been moored there overnight.
In the background is the Great Falls Tavern - now used as a National Park Service visitors center for the area. In 1828 the Tavern began as a simple stone Locktender's house, numbered 12 on the C&O Canal. The design for all early lockhouses included a kitchen and parlor downstairs and two bedrooms upstairs. This cozy dwelling greeted its first residents, the engineers supervising construction of the canal's first segment. Later the first Locktender, W.W. Fenlon, moved in to operate Lock 20.
