Cycling The Erie Canal, Revised Edition: A Guide To 400 Miles Of Adventure And History Along The Erie Canalway Trail (Parks & Trails New York)
Download Free (EPUB, PDF)

The Erie Canalway Trail is a cycling destination for riders of all abilities. Following one of the world s most famous manmade waterways, it spans New York State between Albany and Buffalo. Whether enjoying a leisurely ride from one village to another, or spending a week completing the entire 360 miles, the Erie Canalway Trail offers endless adventures exploring the charming towns, living history, scenic beauty and cultural attractions of New York State. The trail route follows both active and historic sections of the Erie Canal. For more than thirty years, state and local governments have been transforming the old towpath and abandoned rail corridor into a 360-mile multi-use pathway; by 2015, more than three-quarters of the off-road route was in place. The guidebook is designed primarily for use by bicyclists, but it is also useful for those planning to enjoy the trail on foot, travelling the canal system by boat, or visiting the Canal corridor s many sites by car. The revised edition includes new inset maps to guide trail users through complicated stretches. All new trail segments developed since 2012 have been added, along with on-road routing updates. The guide s comprehensive listings of attractions, historic sites, visitor centers, and parks make it an indispensable resource for dedicated cyclists planning to bike across the state or the casual rider looking to take the family out for a couple of hours."

We are heading out soon on our Erie Canal bike trip and will use all the maps. It has everything we need for the trip. Even booked the places we are staying using the book.

Nice coverage of the trail. Hope to do the trail next summer after I have ironed out the details of traveling to the trailhead. I plan to do the ride solo and unassisted;

easy to use very helpful book
