You can take a 45-minute ride on the canal that includes traversing the aqueduct. It is the only boat ride that is available on the Enlarged Erie Canal.

"This 144 foot waterway is listed as the smallest of the larger aqueducts. Four stone arches made of fine Onondaga limestone quarried from Split Rock supported the towpath. Of the 32 original aqueducts on the First Enlargement, only about seven remain intact.

"Downstream from the present First Enlargement Aqueduct, can be found the remains of the 1820 Clinton’s Ditch Aqueduct with an adjacent lock. Two stone arches supported the 120 foot water bridge. This area has been cleared and kiosks interpret the site."

I'm surprised that Lock #50 is not marked. Normally, they put a "V" on the canal's blue line where a lock is located. Note that the town was on a spur that went south of the canal.
