Body

This photograph shows the mouth of the Long Hollow Valley. The body of water is called “Polly Pond” and was created by the berm wall of the Canal. During operations canal boats would use Polly Pond as a turning basin and also a place to moor their boats. The canal boats would have to pass underneath the railroad bridge to enter Polly Pond.
