Canal Bike/Hike Tour

Many New Yorkers have dreamed of one day being able to bike or hike across the state on a continuous multi-use trail along the historic and scenic Canal System.

Many portions of the statewide trail already exist, including the Hudson-Mohawk Trail in the Capital-Saratoga region and the Old Erie Canal State Park and the Erie Canal Heritage Trail in the western part of the state. Over 120 miles of the trail will be developed in coming years, and there is a statewide commitment to see that the vision becomes a reality in a Canal Way Trail system.
