Latest canal project This nearly completed project, a canal guard lock, is located at the southwest end of Canal Park. Narrated walks during Canal Days will tell about this lock, which is similar to one that was located north of Delphi and protected the canal from a flooding Wabash River. Building this lock took many volunteer hours. Two-to-three-ton cut stones had been removed from the old county jail in the 1970s and were donated by contractor Jack Cohee. The structure has a thick wooden gate and when completed, will have an adjacent change bridge, which would have allowed towing animals to cross from one side of the canal to the other.
