SLOW AND STEADY ; ONCE `CLINTON'S DITCH,' ERIE CANAL OFFERS LOVELY, LANGUID CRUISING
2002
Overview
The Erie Canal is more than 300 miles long and can be accessed at numerous points along its east-to-west route between Albany and Buffalo, but its most developed tourism facilities are between Syracuse and Buffalo and include (heading east to west) Seneca Falls, Palmyra, Fairport, Pittsford and Lockport. The canal is open from early May through late November. Visit www.canals.state.ny.us for information on touring the canal, renting a canal houseboat to biking from inn to inn along the canal, or call 800-4CANAL4. Lockport, which bills itself as the \"Historic Jewel of the Erie Canal\" is overstating the situation quite a bit when it comes to its downtown, but the sight of the dramatic drop -- now accomplished with two locks instead of the previous five -- will stick with visitors for a lifetime. At the base of the steep locks and overlooking the canal is the one-room museum with a scratchy video of canal history and glass cases with some canal memorabilia. The view is more impressive than the museum. For a treat on especially hot days, consider the underground boat ride and tour of the Lockport caves. Call 716-438-0174. PHOTO 1,2: (color), TOP PHOTO COURTESY OF NEW YORK STATE CANAL CORPS; BOTTOM PHOTO COURTESY OF ERIE CANAL MUSEUM GRAPHIC: (color map), JOSUE EVILLA / THE HARTFORD COURANT RIKKI VAN CAMP / ASSOCIATED PRESS; 1,2 -- THE WATERFORD CANAL FESTIVAL at Waterford, N.Y., above, is one of many activities along the Erie Canal, which the state of New York is aggressively pushing as a tourist destination. Below, this 1850s weighlock building along the Erie Canal in Syracuse, N.Y., is currently a museum dedicated to the Erie Canal and the only surviving canal boat weighing station. AMANDA ROGERS, 14, tried to cast her line into the Erie Canal in Macedon, N.Y., and accidentally cast half her fishing pole along with it. Her friend Katherine Madden, 11, tries to pull the pole back to the dock. Holly Karge, 12, is trying to bait her hook.
