One of the things I love about the Erie Canal and Brockport, New York is the Liftbridges. Whenever a boat goes by, the Liftbridge operator lifts the bridge straight up on counterweights and the boats glide under. On this day, the water of the Erie Canal was so still that it reflected the Liftbridge and clouds.

This is a mid day photograph of downtown Brockport reflected in the Erie Canal. There was a huge thunderstorm cloud passing by to the South but it never rained here. Next to the Welcome Center there is a red and white tent set up for the weekly free concert they have in the summer and fall.

Walking in the early morning sunshine on the Erie Canal Pathway in Brockport, New York brings all kinds of great sights to you. Here is the Welcome Center in Brockport on the Erie Canal, and there is a beautiful little Packet Boat tied up there ready to go out on a trip. People can rent these boats by the week and travel and stay in them along the entire Erie Canal.

We are continuing our tour of the Erie Canal in Brockport, New York. It is early morning and we are walking on the Erie Canal Pathway headed back towards the Main Street Liftbridge. The backs of the buildings in Brockport are lit up by the rising sun and reflected in the calm water of the Erie Canal.

We are walking East on the Erie Canal Pathway in Brockport, New York towards the Park Avenue Liftbridge. This section of the Erie Canal is “original” and still used unlike the vast majority of the canal that was diverted and greatly expanded. The canal was widened in the early 1900’s to accommodate wider shipping. Here tgthe e sun has peeked over the horizon and the Fall colors are starting to show on the trees.

While walking the Towpath or Erie Canal Pathway in Brockport, New York we saw two canal boats tied up to the Welcome Center. One pushed off just before sunrise and turned to the East and headed toward the Park Avenue Liftbridge. The bells started clanking, the bridge lifted and the Packet Boat glided away.

This old steel sign is out on a dock with a light at Adams Basin to greet patrons of the Adams Basin Inn. The sign is crooked and in this view shows up as a silhouette in the sunset at dark.

Next to the old classic house West of Adams Basin is the High Bridge at Gallup Road. This allows traffic to cross very high over the fixed bridge and get over the Erie Canal. These bridges are out on country roads out of towns in NY State where there are no Liftbridge operators.

Moving just West of Adams Basin on the Erie Canal in upstate NY, there was this nice old house or mansion if you will, reflected in the water. I would love to tour this house and loved the trees in fall foliage around it. This house had its own basin off to the left side where canal boats used to store for the winter when the canal was drained.
