A Guard Gate like this protects from floodwaters, by diverting the Mohawk River's waters, thereby preventing flooding at the locks

 

 

The Village of Ilion has a nice canal harbor with all the services ... fuel, tie-up, electric, even cable tv.
The port also has a RV park attached to it.
It's a popular spot for local folks to come down to look at the boats and have an ice cream.
