Lock C-6

Lock C6 is located in the town of Fort Miller and is the northernmost lock on the Hudson River. The lock has a lift of 16.5 feet, lifting boats from 102.5 feet above sea level to 119 feet above sea level. Lock 6 is located north of Lock C5 by 4 miles and south of Lock C7 by 7 miles. Lock 6 was one of the first canal locks built on the modern canal system. The concrete for the lock and approach walls was mixed by a plant located on the east side of the present lock. Materials are delivered in canal boats — the stone from Northumberland, the sand from a bank near Sandy Hill. Services Offered
