Harbor Lock Rd Dump ...

The first part of the Erie Canal Bike Trail (paved) from the North Genesee Street Park and Ride, goes past the NYSDOT building and garage, then passes this old capped landfill. Kind of a scene of industrial horror.

Taken on Saturday August 27, 2011 at Utica Marsh.

More about Utica Marsh...

In the late 1970's, the City of Utica awarded DEC 50 acres of river flood plain with the condition that the state begin buying additional land here and managing this wetland area. Now the WMA contains 213 acres, has 2 observation towers, one viewing platform with a ramp and hardened trail, several trails complete with boardwalks over the wet areas, water control dikes, parking areas, a pavilion and car top boat launch site on the Mohawk River. A large parking lot and boat ramp are located on the Barge Canal just off the north west corner of the WMA and a bike trail passes along the marsh and barge canal on the north.
