Mastering the Locks: Watching the Erie Canal locks in action is a fascinating process. There are 35 locks on this iconic waterway as the elevation rises 566 feet from the Canal at the Hudson River to the Canal at Lake Erie. Today I witnessed this process in Newark, NY at Lock 28B as the Colonial Belle made her way to Fairport. Moving vessels along through the Erie Canal requires shifting water levels from lock to lock. Here’s a peak into that process. | John Kucko Digital

“America’s Stairway” tells the story of the historic Flight of Five locks on the Erie Canal in Lockport, NY — a powerful symbol of what a young America could achieve. This film connects the Flight of Five to the rise of American tourism and today’s heritage tourism movement, driven by community pride and preservation. It’s a story that reaches beyond its time and place, capturing the spirit of innovation and connection that continues today. 📅 Monday, Oct. 20 ⏰ 9 p.m. 📺 BTPM PBS | BTPM PBS
