New York State Canalway Trail

The New York State Canalway Trail is a network of multi-use trails that run parallel to current or former sections of the Erie, Oswego, Cayuga-Seneca, and Champlain canals. When completed, the system will have of trails following current and former sections of the canals. The longest of these is the long Erie Canalway Trail.〔 Parks and Trails New York, www.ptny.org/canalway/index.shtml, retrieved June 17, 2009 〕
A partnership of national, state, local and non-profit organizations is working to complete a continuous system of trails along these canals. Among the organizations involved are Parks & Trails New York, the New York State Canal Corporation and the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.
Before the railroad era, New York had an extensive network of canals. As commercial freight shifted away from canals and towards rail and highways, communities along the canals needed new ways to generate commerce. In 1995, the Canal Corporation issued a recreation plan, which offered a view of the Canal as a linear park, including trails linking communities along the trail. Biking, hiking, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, horseback riding, canoeing, and fishing are among activities promoted.
The original canals were flanked by towpaths, where mules walked while pulling barges through the canals. Many of the canalway trails follow former towpaths. Some trails follow canals that are still in use, serving mostly recreational boating. Other towpath trails pass by the ruins of abandoned locks and other structures. Many communities along the canal have made progress in establishing parks, improving towpaths and raising funds for restoration of old canal structures such as locks and aqueducts.
As of 2011, the Erie Canalway Trail was 75% complete. About 80 miles of the trail have not been built, with gaps remaining from Amherst to Lockport, Lyons to Port Byron, Camillus to DeWitt, Utica to Little Falls, Amsterdam to Rotterdam Junction, and Cohoes to Watervliet.〔 〕
