The grassy embankment separate the canal from the tidal river. Even at the highest of tides, the canal is much deeper than the river.
The Newry Canal Middlebank

The embankment separating the Newry Ship Canal and the River Newry is known as the Middlebank. At present it is closed to the public for much its length. There are plans however to use the Middlebank as a link between the 20 mile Newry Canal Walk from Portadown to Newry and the Omeath - Carlingford Greenway. This would provide a motor vehicle free walking and cycling corridor from Portadown to Carlingford.
