Erie Canalway Trail

Following the historic Erie Canal, the Erie Canalway Trail extends 360 miles between Albany and Buffalo. Now a part of the @nygov #EmpireStateTrail

The good news keeps on coming! The section of the #ErieCanalwayTrail west of the Village of Oriskany is now back open, after being closed due to a trail washout and repair project 🎉

Please note that the trail surface may seem soft, but is expected to harden up as it settles.

Good news! The tunnel at the end of Leggiero Lane in Rotterdam Junction has reopened after undergoing some modifications to make it safer for cyclists. #ErieCanalwayTrail #EmpireStateTrail

The last round of #CanalCleanSweep awards goes to the groups who collected the biggest haul!

The Rotary Club of Rochester-Southwest, the Roberts Wesleyan College Dept of Social Work, and the Middleport Beautification Committee made sure not one piece of trash was left behind 💪
