Waterford, NY to Amsterdam, NY – Mon. June 20, 2022 – 38 mi

Waterton to Amsterdam was only 38 miles, but took us 7 hours 31 min. Nine locks to passage through…including the five infamous “Waterford flight of Locks” lifting us 169 ‘ in less than 1.5 miles engineered in 1907 !!!

Our boating friends locking through ahead of us.
Setting up against the wall…holding on to a cable or rope while being lifted…
About 20 – 30 minutes a lock…
Here I am holding a line around a cable.
Beautiful scenery along the Erie Canal…some homes…lots of green spaces…
We made it to Amsterdam Riverline Park…a boaters wall to tie up against…some with power and water available.
Here is our spot…with gorgeous scenery in our back porch.
Took a walk into town and saw mansions from days gone by…

Mansion from the 1860’s.
