The Windsor Locks Canal is a historic waterway located in Connecticut, running parallel to the Connecticut River. It was constructed in the early 19th century to facilitate navigation and transport goods, particularly for the local textile industry. The canal stretches approximately 4.5 miles and features several locks that help boats navigate the elevation changes along the route. Today, the Windsor Locks Canal is part of the Windsor Locks Canal State Park, which offers recreational opportunities such as hiking, biking, and fishing. The park preserves the canal's historical significance while providing a scenic environment for visitors to enjoy nature and learn about the region's industrial past.
