Description

Wiconisco Canal var en transportvandrørløsning fra det 19. århundrede, ca. 12 miles lang, i Dauphin County i den amerikanske stat Pennsylvania. Løbe langs den østlige bred af Susquehanna-floden mellem Millersburg og Duncan's Island ved udmundingen af Juniata-floden, overvandt kanalen omkring 42 fods vertikal løft ved hjælp af 7 sluser.
Påbegyndt af Commonwealth of Pennsylvania blev kanalen færdiggjort i 1845 af et privat firma og brugt til at transportere kul og andre varer fra den nordlige del af Dauphin County til fjerntliggende markeder. Solgt til et datterselskab af Pennsylvania Railroad fortsatte den med at operere, indtil den stort set blev ødelagt af en oversvømmelse i 1889. Kanalens største akvadukt, nr. 3 nær Halifax, fortsætter med at fungere som en motorvejsbro over Powell Creek. Den blev tilføjet til den nationale liste over historiske steder i 1988 som Broen i Reed Township.
