Port Middletown Plaza

Canal locks were built to raise and lower boats as the elevation of the land changed. There were 106 locks on the Miami & Erie Canal to overcome a difference in elevation of 512 feet.

The Excello Lock, left, was the first lock completed on the original Miami Canal in 1826. The Doty Lock, below, was the original Lock #1.
