About This Access Site
The Nelson C. Goehle Public Marina in Lockport, New York provides boaters, kayakers, and canoeists with direct access to the Erie Canal. Located at mile marker 319.05, this public access site is situated just east of Lock 34.
The marina offers basic amenities for canal travelers, including food, fuel, laundry, and pumpout services. However, it is important to note that the site is not currently handicap accessible. Boaters and paddlers should be aware that this access point will be closed for construction from June 2023 through mid-November 2025, so alternative put-in locations may be necessary during that time.
The Erie Canal in this region is a relatively wide, slow-moving waterway, making it well-suited for recreational boating and paddling. Visitors can enjoy scenic views of the historic canal locks and surrounding countryside. Nearby recreation areas like the Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge also offer opportunities for birdwatching, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
