Lock bridges are a fun attraction where you can watch boats literally drive on land by passing through large steel gates. Here are some frequently asked questions about lock bridges near you:
What is a lock bridge?
A lock bridge, also known as a canal lock, is a structure that allows boats and ships to travel between stretches of water of different levels on river and canal waterways. The lock has a chamber with gates at both ends that can be opened and closed.
How does a lock bridge work?
The lock is filled or emptied of water through clever use of gates and waterways, allowing the level to be raised or lowered between two different water levels on either side of the gates. This allows boats to essentially "climb steps" between stretches of water too high or too low to pass directly.
Are lock bridges only for boats?
While lock bridges were originally designed for canal boats and barges, many have walking paths where you can watch the boats up close as they pass through. It's a fun way for families to spend an afternoon especially in warmer months.
How can I find lock bridges near me?
You can search online for "lock bridges near [your city]" or check with your local tourism office for recommendations. Popular locations with multiple locks include the Erie Canal in Upstate NY, C&O Canal in Maryland, and Bridgewater Canal in England.
Are lock bridges safe to visit?
Lock bridges are very safe for visitors as long as you obey all signs and stay behind railings or fences near the water. Just use common sense around moving boats and machinery involved in operating the locks.
