The New York State Canal System is the largest state-run inland waterway system in the nation, operating since 1825 and encompassing the Erie, Champlain, Oswego, and Cayuga-Seneca canals, along with over 150 miles of recreational trails. This expansive network offers diverse opportunities for boating, fishing, and exploring the natural beauty and charm of local canal communities.

In addition to its recreational offerings, the canal system plays a vital role in economic development through commercial navigation and grants for community projects. The system's waterways not only provide enjoyment and exploration for visitors but also support the local economy and environmental stewardship across New York State.
