 It was supplied with water from three feeders, one from Ventiford Brook, a stream which also supplies Stover Lake (now in Stover Country Park) and one from the River Bovey at Jewsbridge, both of which fed the top pound, and one from the River Teign at Fishwick, which entered the canal just below lock 4.The exit from the canal was on to the tidal Whitelake channel, and from there to the River Teign and the docks.The first three locks did not originally have side walls, but used earth banks instead, which were replaced with timber or brick walls in due course.
