Oswego Canal Lock 7

Lockmasters on the Oswego are simply terrific! We stayed on the free wall between locks 7 and 8 for one night. Very well protected, cleats or rings available. There is some downtown activity but we never felt unsafe or threatened. Lots of room on the walls; the first section you come to is in better shape than the second. Use plenty of fenders. We went into the marina the next day for laundry, but had it not been my lack of clean clothes, we would have waited out the weather there while waiting to cross the lake.
