Lock 60 at the Schuylkill Canal Park
A fully restored, working 1820s lock on the old Schuylkill Canal, just across the river in Mont Clare, with the original locktender's house still standing. Between guided tours run with the Schuylkill Canal Association, the park earns its keep with fishing, a boat launch, birding trails, and a five-mile water loop trail.
