Description
Lockhouse 70 at C&O Canal towpath mile 166.7 sits on a rewatered section of the C&O Canal in the center of Oldtown, Maryland. The Canal section is also known as Battie Mixon Pond in honor of the Natural Resources Officer who led the community’s rewatering effort in the 1940s and 50s.
Lock 70 is in good condition. In 1906, a fire destroyed the Green Spring Road covered bridge over the Canal and damaged the lock, which needed to be rebuilt.
