There's only one place in New York where you can actually drive UNDER the Erie canal. The Medina Culvert, built in 1823, is the only spot along the entire historic waterway where traffic can drive under the Erie Canal. It's located in Ridgeway, New York in Orleans County if you want to take this scary trip. If the drive under the canal wasn't creepy enough, try doing it in the winter, when it takes on an icy look on a frigid day.
