Free Saturday Demonstrations of the Erie Canal Flight of Five Locks

  

Watch our volunteer Lock Tenders operate the historic Erie Canal Flight of Five Locks. The Lockport community, with the support of the New York State Canal Corporation, is pursuing a strategy to rehabilitate the Erie Canal Flight of Five Locks and return them to operating condition. Rehabilitation of Locks 69 & 70 was completed in 2014, and rehabilitation of Lock 68 was completed in 2019. Demonstrations of the reconstructed Flight of Five, including locking through our Durham-style vessel, the “Erie Traveler", are offered free of charge to the public every Saturday, beginning July 2 from 11 am - 1 pm thru October 1.

Operate the Lock Gates!

Register for the Flight of Five Lock Tender Tour, Monday through Friday, July 1 thru September 16. Be a Lockport Lock Tender for a day and push the replica wooden balance beams into position, just as our 19th Century Lock Tenders toiled to manually open the five-ton wooden lock gates. Our knowledgeable volunteer Lock Tenders will be glad to show you how!
