Canalway Trail Partnership Project

The primary goals of the Canalway Trail Partnership are to complete a 524-mile multi-use trail along the Erie, Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca canals, and to ensure that the trail is managed for the best possible user experience. The Erie Canalway is one of the country's most historic corridors. When it opened in 1825, the Erie Canal was truly a wonder of the world. Currently, about 260 miles of the Canalway Trail are complete. The remainder is in various stages of planning and development. Upon completion, the Canalway Trail will be the nation's longest historic multi-use trail.

The Partners

The Canalway Trail Partnership brings together the strengths and talents of Parks & Trails New York, the NYS Canal Corporation and the all-volunteer Canalway Trails Association in completing and promoting this extraordinary recreational trail along one of the nation's most historic corridors. The partnership coolaborates wiht local communities and trail groups to develop, maintain, and publicize the trail.
