Day #22: Bobbing Along to Spencerport, NY

Lock 32, Pittsford, NY Puts Out a lot of Whitewater when it's Being Emptied

The Erie Canal cost $7,000,000 to build and paid for itself it 10 years.

Our First Lift Bridge on the Erie Canal is in Fairport, NY.  Lift Bridges can be Identified by the U.S. and NY State flags that fly at their Midspan

Encompassing Lock 34 and 35 is the Niagara Escarpment where the Canal was Cut through Solid Rock 

Canal Boat Rentals are popular around Rochester

Bridges like those in Venice, Italy

A Jogging Path where Once there was Only a Towpath

45 Miles from Newark, NY to Spencerport, NY

Tonight we're in Spencerport, yet another cute town with a free dock, water and electric. DBH
