They built the pavilion and restored the lock as an access ramp. Note the notches in the walls for the lock gates.

The ramp in the lock allows users of the Great Miami River Trail to access downtown Piqua for food and potty. It also provides a connection between the Great Miami River and Ohio to Indiana Trails. The Ohio to Indiana Trail follows the abandoned Pennsy Panhandle route, including their bridge over the Great Miami River.

Like the Ohio & Erie Canal on the east side of Ohio, this canal was severely damaged by the 1913 flood, which caused it to close.
