Situated on the towpath from mile post 110 to 114, Big Pool is an ancient river channel. It required minimal effort and maintenance on behalf of the canal company to convert it into a turning basin for canal operations. Just as canawlers did, visitors today will encounter abundant wildlife both in the waters and at the edge of Big Pool.
