Black River Canal

The Black River Canal was a canal built in northern New York in the USA to connect the Erie Canal to the Black River. The canal had 109 locks along its length. Remains of the several of the canal's former locks are visible along New York State Route 12 near Boonville.
The Black River Canal Museum in Boonville is dedicated to the Black River Canal.
== Description of the canal ==
In 1828, a survey for the Black River Canal Company proposed of traffic canal, of feeder canal, and of navigable river from Rome in Oneida County to Carthage in Jefferson County to allow the communities of northern New York access to an inexpensive mode of transportation for commerce. Originally the Canal Commission's intent was to complete a route that would terminate at the St. Lawrence River in Ogdensburg at the northern edge of St. Lawrence County. The canal when finished only went to Carthage and yet still possessed all of the traits proposed in 1828 and rose a modest .
One hundred and nine locks were required to raise and lower the barges over this relatively short distance. Some of the locks were in consecutive series of four and five due to steep grades. The summit of the Black River Canal ("BRC") passed through Boonville in Oneida County, where it met with a feeder canal that originated in Forestport. The northern end of the canal proper terminated at Lyons Falls in Lewis County while canal boat traffic continued through to Carthage by way of improvements to the navigability of the Black River itself and the assistance of steamboats. Two additional locks and four dams on the river were needed to accomplish this feat.
