Locks of the Ohio Canal

Lockville Canal Park
5895 Pickerington Rd
Carroll, OH  43112

Before the Ohio Canal, Ohio was the poorest state in the nation. By 1840, Ohio was the third richest! One reason was that farmers could now get their produce as far as New York!

We will walk to each of the locks in the park – Locks 11, 12, and 13. As the massive block walls tower above us, we will imagine how such a large boat could navigate between them with only inches to spare and learn of the dangers that presented. See a slip shovel and learn how it was used.
