Mohawk Towpath Byway
Lower Aqueduct, NY
The Town of Colonie maintains a pocket park, locally called "Freddie's Park", on the south side of the Mohawk River just east of the abutment for the Route 9 bridge. Part of this park includes an information kiosk describing the original Erie Canal aqueduct (1825), the enlarged Erie Canal aqueduct (1842), and a sequence of three bridges at the site.
