Erie Canal bicentennial celebration under way in New York
Published: , in Outdoor News
The Erie Canal is celebrating a milestone of historic significance. It is the 200th anniversary of the construction of “Clinton’s Ditch,” a manmade marvel in its day that focused initially on commercial transportation operations. Since that time, it has become a different kind of outdoor wonder today.
The Erie Canal is now a recreational byway that transects New York State from Buffalo to Albany for 363 miles, with special attention on historical tourism, boating, hiking, biking, and fishing.
