GET YOUR CANAL PASS

With the Canal filling up with water, it's time to get your boat ready for another season on Clinton's Ditch.

The NYS Canal Corporation, the state entity that runs the canal, will charge boaters to use our waterway again this year. Any craft passing through a lift bridge or lock must have a pass.

Season passes are:

$25 for a boat under 16'
$50 for a boat 16' to 26' in length
$75 for 26' to 39' craft
$100 for anything bigger

You can buy your pass at the locks in Lockport or at the Canal Corporation regional office in Albion.

You can also dowload a form online at this website:
