THINGS TO DO: Erie Canalway Trail More than three-quarters of the 365-mile long, off road Erie Canalway Trail between Albany and Buffalo is open for recreation. When finished, the trail will be the nation’s longest multiple-use trail.   Walking the Erie Canalway Trail offers a glimpse of what walking across the state with a canal boat in tow might have been like.  The trail is open to hikers, joggers, and bicyclists, as well as cross-country skiers in winter. Some sections are suitable for in-line skating.   The Champlain Canal Trail, running from the confluence of the Mohawk and Hudson rivers at Waterford to Lake Champlain at Whitehall, is still being developed. Short trail segments currently follow the old Champlain Canal towpath in Waterford and in Schuylerville.   Worth a Trip! Walking, bicycling, and cross-country skiing are baseline activities that are allowed on all trails in the system. Otheruses vary by location.       TRAIL SECTION REGION MILES CONNECTIONS SURFACE ACTIVITIES Erie Canal Heritage Trail Western 114 Buffalo to Newark paved, crushed stone inline skating, snowmobiling in some sections    Old Erie Canal- Port Byron to Camillus Central 28 Schasel Park in Port Byron to Warners Road in Camillus    crushed stone snowmobiling Old Erie Canal State Park Trail Central 36 DeWitt to Rome crushed stone horseback riding, snowmobiling    Rome to Utica Mohawk Valley 14 Fort Stanwix National Monument in Rome to Utica paved, crushed stone      Mohawk-Hudson Bikeway Mohawk Valley and Capital Region    86 Little Falls to Albany paved, crushed stone inline skating, snowmobiling in some sections Glens Falls Feeder Trail Champlain 8 Historic feeder canal from Glens Falls to Fort Edward    stone dust none	Kiosks all along the Erie Canalway Trail provide maps and interpretive information.           Find cycling resources and learn more about Cycling the Canalway Trail >           The New York State Canal Corporation is responsible for developing and overseeing the Erie Canalway Trail.
