Lock 37; house and storage sheds off in the distance beside canal lock

Lock 37 located two and a third miles downstream from the Antietam Aqueduct, is considered one of the most scenic spots along the canal. It was known as Mountain Lock, perhaps because of the beautiful mountain that rises behind it but that required the canal to be built close to the river with rocky cliffs on the berm side for about half a mile downstream. Upstream from the lock is a wide basin for perhaps 75 yards.
