Locks No.'s 68, 69 and 70 of the Delaware and Hudson Canal (D&H Canal) are three of the 108 that once existed along the Canal. It was used primarily for the transportation of coal by barge from the Pennsylvania mountains to New York City and extended from Honesdale, Pennsylvania to Kingston, New York. The Canal was in active use from 1828 until 1898. The No. 68 and No. 70 locks are in good shape for historic interpretation. Lock No. 69 is thought to be largely intact, although its present owner filled it in 1981.
