Old Champlain Canal - Locks 16 & 17 Fort Ann, NY |

Old Champlain locks 16 and 17, abandoned around 1918, are completely overgrown with weeds, and filled with trash, old washing machines and old tires. The locks are marked by this bent & rusty sign. See full-sized photo |

In June 2007 some brush had been cleared, revealing a notch in the wall where a door once stood.

The north entrance to Old Lock 17 is still mostly hidden by swamp growth.
