The New Bakersville Canal begins in Flushing Bay on the far east side of Monterey Lake north-northeast of  EN12  New Bakersville - Brighton Beach station. The canal briefly travels north before turning east along Third Street. It then proceeds along the Third Street Docks until it turns south at Seventh Avenue briefly to the First Street Bridge, where it becomes the Downtown Arm of the Grand Union Canal. The canal maintains sea level its entire length. Unlike other canals in New Bakersville, the New Bakersville Canal has no towpaths. However, there are multiple streets and paths on embankments along the canal.

Service

Hummingbird Boat Lines routes 7, 17, 24, and 26 and WMB provide service to Third Street Docks along the north side of the canal.
