Dam at Erie Lock 11, Amsterdam
Eight movable dams between Schenectady and Fort Plain are designed to regulate water flow from the Mohawk River. While they look like bridges, only two carry roadways. The gates of the dam are lowered into the river to form navigable pools during the summer but are pulled out of the water in winter to clear the way for ice and debris-filled floodwaters.
