Hudson River Greenway Water Trail

Attention paddlers! The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor, along with the NYS Canal Corporation, has launched the NYS Canalway Water Trail Stewardship Program to help ensure the Erie, Cayuga-Seneca, Champlain, and Oswego canals are welcoming and safe for paddlers. Individuals and groups are invited to adopt a section of the waterway and perform light maintenance, report issues, and act as friendly ambassadors. Learn more and apply here: https://bit.ly/3noZkoh
