   Mar 13, 2024 · Chesapeake’s Great Bridge Lock Park is the perfect place to spend an afternoon. You can picnic, play, fish and crab; but the name can be a little confusing. It might even sound like Chesapeake had a Scottish section until you see signs that read L-O-C-K as opposed to L-O-C-H.

   Why did the Chesapeake Canal need a bridge lock?

   • In Chesapeake, that meant boats needed a deeper and wider passage than the hand-dug Great Dismal Swamp Canal. In 1850, steam-powered dredges called "Iron Titans," tore through tangles of roots and cypress knees to build the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal. The Great Bridge Lock was in place to regulate travel – and business boomed.

   What is a Great Bridge Lock?

   • Locks are used to raise and lower water levels to help vessels easily travel between bodies of water. The Great Bridge Lock can hold up to 20 boats at a time while operators open and close four sets of gates and valves. What makes the Great Bridge Lock particularly unique is that it’s a guard lock, meaning it protects water quality.
