Clinton Ohio and Erie Canal Historic District-Clinton Lock 2 and 3-Clinton Upper (Lock 2) and Clinton Lower (Lock 3)

Clinton's Ohio & Erie Canal district is a linear stretch of canal remains along the Tuscarawas River flood plain in Summit County, Ohio. It includes Locks 2 and 3, a guard lock, two concrete flood gates, sections of towpath and canal prism, and the foundations of lock tenders' houses and piles of original cut sandstone. The locks were rebuilt in poured concrete during state rehabilitation work in 1907 and 1908, and the towpath now serves as a paved recreation trail. The district was listed for its part in the canal's transportation history and for its engineering. Clinton had grain warehouses, a mill, and a busy coal industry that sent large shipments to Cleveland, and a canal slip connected the mines to the canal near Lock 2. The locks, flood gates and guard lock follow standard canal dimensions, with chambers 90 feet long, and they show how river water was fed into the canal and its levels controlled. The period of significance runs from 1828 to 1913.
