Confirmed from Triple Locks Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Triple Locks Park
“It seemed to be very clean and the water level was quite high recently there is a lot of history in Ohio Canal Locks”
“It's peaceful and beautiful, although, you can still see the hustle and bustle on the highway.”
“It's peaceful and beautiful, although, you can still see the hustle and bustle on the highway.”
This is a large remaining section of the Ohio Erie Canal that used a triple lock, you can cross the bridge, walk the bottom of the canal or check out the towpath that runs beside. Beautiful spot. It's too bad there's not a picture of it in operation with the wooden boardwalk in place.
Interesting park to visit as you can see three Ohio Canal locks that go uphill/downhill and can walk in the lock as well as go over the lock on the bridge.
Have walked here for years,had family reunions here and just sat at one of the shelters and relaxed and enjoyed the peace and quiet while watching squirrels and the birds and just enjoying the park as a whole.
This canal town is restored in 1830's. This was a busy town when the Ohio and Erie Canal was bustling with Canal boats. There are places to visit like museums and exhibits, and experience a horse-drawn canal boat ride.
