Celebrate 200 Years of the Erie Canal with this guide offering 200+ dining and attraction highlights along the historic path.Completed in 1825, the Erie Canal spans 363 miles across New York State to connect Albany and Buffalo, which made it an indispensable tract for commerce 200 years ago. While the canal's use as a primary means of moving commercial goods across the state has been replaced by trucks and trains, its recreational usage has increased exponentially since then. The Canal Path that parallels the waterway has become a mecca for hikers, bikers, and runners of all ages. In celebration of the Canals' 200th anniversary, The Erie Canal Traveler's Guide features more than 200 restaurants, pubs, and attractions for the entire family and the curious traveler alike, all within 'a stone's throw' - or, to be precise, 445 feet and ten inches - of the Canal Path. Across 14 counties and many more towns and cities, establishments located along the Canal flourish. This helpful and handy account is bursting with over 200 listings with location and menu details, descriptions, and photos: explore Lockport's Upside-Down Train Trestle in Niagara County; have breakfast at local gems such as The Village Coal Tower Restaurant in Monroe County; visit Kirby's Cider Mill in Orleans Country; hike through the Mohawk Valley Welcome Center in Montgomery Country and afterwards, quench your thirst with an ice-cold glass of milk at The Dairy Bar.
