| Historic narrative: | |||||
| The original Erie Canal, Clinton's Ditch, traveled along the east side of Ganargua Creek and curved east into Lyons. The second, Enlarged Canal, traveled just north of the current canal and over Ganargua Creek via an aqueduct. The aqueduct was completed in 1849. It was damaged and collapsed in a storm in 1969-1970. | |||||
