on the
Muskingum
River
.
It
measures

"

"
(6.99

. The
Muskingum
River
begins
at the
confluence
of the
Walhonding
and
Tuscarawas
rivers
in
Coshocton
,
Ohio
and
flows
south
to the
Ohio
River
at
Marietta
.
Ten
locks
constructed
along
the
river
allow
boats
to
travel
the
112-mile
distance
of the
Muskingum
River
. In
2001
, the
American
Society
of
Civil
Engineers
named
the
Muskingum
River
locks
a
National
Historic
Civil
Engineering
Landmark
.
Locks
allow
boats
to
navigate
the
different
elevations
of the
natural
terrain
. The
structure
consisted
of
two
gated
areas
in the
canal
.
When
a
boat
entered
the
lock
, a
gate
closed
behind
it
and the
water
level
was
raised
,
floating
the
boat
to the
higher
elevation
.
When
the
water
level
inside
the
lock
equaled
that on the
other
side
of the
gate
, the
boat
was
released
.
