This is a great short drift dive starting at the “Wreck Wee Hawk”. We then swim to the entrance of Lock 28 and then drift downstream and eventually cross into the main channel and end up on the Conestoga (Connie), where you can loop around. We often also dive back to near the entrance location.
In the bottom left of the image below, you can see the “Wreck Wee Hawk”.
