Enlarged Erie Canal Lock #51 west of Jordan, NY

Lock: (Satellite)

Lock Tender House: (Satellite, it must have been moved. They are normally next to the lock so that the lock tender can respond to a boat during the night as well as the day.)

Cayuga County Trail Towns posted four photos with the comment: "Have you been out Jordan way lately? Lock 51 is looking great, all nice and clean with the grass cut and the island cleared off."

Jordan Historical Society & Museums: Our volunteers work closely with Onondaga County Parks, owner of the Lock 51 Park in an effort to keep it cleaned up. Thank you for noticing their efforts!

"Enlarged Erie Canal Lock 51, Jordan, N.Y. -- east end, with the north chamber on the right, and the south chamber on the left. The lock locked down to the west, thus the usual three overflow openings are on the east end."
[Other photos indicate that it is the southern chamber that is extended.]
