Erie Canal Overview

The Barge Canal used the same route as the Erie Canal through Medina, so this is the aqueduct location for both canals.

Craig Lacy posted two photos with the comment: "The canal aqueduct crossing Oak Orchard Creek in Medina as it was in 1902.   Notice the side extension on the second picture for the towpath to cross over."

"Medina Falls is a 40 plunge from a shelf of limestone that flows under the Erie Canal just east of Medina. An aqueduct here carries the Erie Canal and Erie Canalway Trail over Oak Orchard Creek, which flows under the canal. The best view is from the Erie Canalway Trail."
