Waterford Harbor Visitor Center

See and learn about the Erie Canal at the Waterford Harbor Visitor Center. Completed in 1825, it was an integral link between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean and instrumental in establishing New York City as a premier eastern port. Watch the myriad of boats pass through Lock #2 (there is no #1), walk along the north side of the canal or hike or bike the 3-mile Old Champlain Canal Towpath.
