THINGS TO DO: Nature Study Dug by muscle and sweat, and later enlarged with machinery, the Erie Canal, and the growth it attracted, fundamentally altered the landscapes of New York. Yet nature is reclaiming abandoned sections of the original canal. Columbines and ferns grow from stone lock walls, while canal wetlands provide excellent habitat for songbirds, dragonflies, and amphibians. The best way to access the nature of the canal is by boat or via the Erie Canalway Trail. There are also numerous State Parks, Wildlife Management Areas, National Natural Landmarks, and protected preserves throughout the Corridor. |
