[Pages:2]Join in a Trip Back Through Time

A 60-mile, self-guided tour on a section of the NYS Canalway Trail showcases the evolution of 200 years of Erie Canal history.

While the New York Canalway Trail follows corridors used for travel by native peoples for many centuries, the ease of travel between the Atlantic seaboard and the Great Lakes was revolutionized 200 years ago with the Erie Canal opening.

The original Clinton's Ditch opened the unfinished waterway to traffic between Montezuma and Syracuse in in April 1820, completing this middle section of the canal.

200 years later, remains of the legendary Erie Canal can be explored in the rural countryside canal towns and villages on a self-guided, 60-mile tour with highlighted stops in Macedon, Palmyra, Newark, Lyons, Clyde/Galen, Savannah, Montezuma, Port Byron, Weedsport, Memphis, Jordan and Camillus. Here will be revealed the unique and fascinating engineering story of building and the first opening of the Erie Canal.

Whether you are out to travel by auto, hiking or cycling your way across the trailway there is inspiring picturesque scenery to enjoy and remarkable history to discover. The people, places, nature and culture of this

section of the Erie Canal Corridor includes plenty of side trails, aqueducts, locks, murals, mueums, parks, restaurants, and shops to explore all while enjoying the inviting experience of small town charm.

Along this journey you will encounter nature at its best traveling in the area of the Montezuma Wetlands Complex stretching through almost 10,000 acres of the Finger Lakes Region. The wildlife complex is a resting place for numerous migratory birds and is situated in one of the most active flight lanes in the Atlantic Flyway.
