Lock 107

Lock 107 on the Chenango Canal, which opened in 1837, was a composite lock built of stone lined with wooden planks and was repaired and rebuilt several times. Its last rebuilding in the early 1870s replaced the plank lining with vertical oak fenders spaced every four feet and anchored in the masonry walls, and the pockets for those fenders are still visible in the stonework. Across the road, the last remains of a guard lock also survive; that guard lock allowed boats to leave the canal and enter the Chenango River.
