This is Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 31. This was a double chamber lock built around 1850 with the south chamber double length. It had a 6 foot lift. This view is of the south wall of the north chamber, looking east. The north wall of north chamber has been destroyed --its under the pavement of Route 5S. This section of the wall runs next to Route 5S , just east of Sprakers, on the south side of the road. Most of this lock is under Route 5S. Part of the north wall of the lengthened portion of the south chamber can be seen behind the brush at the east end. The rest of the south chamber is buried. This lock is very easy to miss, it appears almost to be a curb along the side of the road.
Locking through Muskingum River Lock #2 at Devols Dam in Devola Ohio.
Throughout the history of the Northwest Territory and the early years of Ohio statehood, the Muskingum River was not easily navigated. In the spring the river would flood and uncertain currents made travel treacherous. During the summer months the opposite was true. Many times the water levels dropped to the point that river travel became impossible. Residents of southeastern Ohio were looking for a way to utilize the river and thought they had an opportunity when the Ohio legislature began discussion of a canal system for the state. Those people were disappointed when the Ohio and Erie Canal bypassed the Muskingum River. By lobbying the state legislature they were able to convince politicians that improvements on the Muskingum River would lead to improved traffic from the Ohio River into the state.
The new project was known as the Muskingum River Improvement. Construction began in 1836 and was completed in 1841. Improvements consisted of a system of eleven locks and dams that made the Muskingum River navigable from Marietta to a feeder canal south of Dresden Ohio that connected to the Ohio and Erie Canal. Residents were pleased as the river system now encouraged economic opportunity in the region. The Muskingum River had hand operated locks that were designed so a boat could pass through each lock in about fifteen minutes.

Here’s my photo 3/5, Locked Out
This shot was taken at the entrance of Grace Church on E.10th St and Broadway. It is a donation box.
This is a view of the north chamber of Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 23 (Alexander's Lock), looking east toward Schenectady. Lock 23 was double chambered and was opened at the beginning of the 1842 navigation season, replacing the single chamber Clinton's Ditch Lock 26, which was located nearby. Lock 23 raised and lowered boats eight feet. Competition from railroads spurred several efforts to improve the Enlarged Canal. Many locks (including Lock 23 in 1889-90) were lengthened to allow east-bound boats with a boat in tow to pass through. However, it was abandoned in 1918 upon the completion of the Barge Canal. General Electric purchased the land from the state, then donated it in the 1950's. By the 1990's the lock was almost completely obscured by overgrowth. In 1999 the faculty and students of Union College's Dept. of Civil Engineering worked on cleaning up the site and doing some reconstructuon. They built a replica of a locktenders shanty and the upstream wooden pier on the upper end of the center island. The Mohawk-Hudson Bike Trail is built on the old towpath and passes right beside the lock. Lock 23 is on the National Register of Historic Places. It is located at the intersection of Rice Road and Schermerhorn Road in Rotterdam,NY.
