Town of Waterford, Administrative center in Saratoga County, United States.
Waterford stands at the meeting point of the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers, with five lift locks connecting these major waterways.
The town emerged from Halfmoon in 1816, developing into a manufacturing center due to its position at the intersection of waterways and railways.
The annual Dragon Boat Festival brings teams together at the harbor to support breast cancer awareness through competitive racing and community engagement.
The Harbor Visitor Center provides 1,000 feet of floating docks, water facilities, showers, and electrical connections for boats traversing New York's canals.
The Waterford Flight lock system raises vessels 169 feet from the Hudson River to the Mohawk River through five consecutive locks.
