#82485: Whitewater Canal Trail

A collage of three images of the Whitewater Canal Trail includes a horizontal image across the top along the Metamora Trail. Here the canal water flows through the 12’ high stone walls of Lock #23. Now surrounded by forest, this lock and Lock #22 just 400’ downstream from this site are called Twin Locks. (photo courtesy of Paul Baudendistel)

The image on the lower right shows the wood-constructed wayfinding kiosk at the Laurel Trailhead on a sunny spring day with the budding trees lining the trail. The station, adjacent to the trail on a paved waystation, provides a detailed map and pictures of the entire Whitewater Canal Trail system on the metal-roofed kiosk wall and a bench in front for hikers to rest.

On the lower left is a image of the upstream side of Lock#24, Gordon’s Lock, at sunrise. The lock has been reconstructed and regulates the water in the canal race of the state historic site. The fog rises around the canal works muting the tree-covered hills in the distance while sunlight glistens off the canal water in the foreground. foreground.
