“I first became interested in the Erie Canal because of the fantastic fishing spots I could kayak to.”

“After I had a stroke, I took up riding my electric trike along the Canal trail. I traveled a little over a thousand miles on the trike last year, the better share on the canal trails. The trails are great and so are the people you meet.”

“I wish more people knew the amazing things you see on the Erie Canal as well as the great places to catch some huge bass!”

Many thanks to Jack for responding.

Whether boater, biker, hiker, triker, fisher, or even mostly armchair traveler, we’d like to hear from you. Answer these three questions: How did you become interested in the Canal? What is a favorite time/place? What do you wish more folks knew about the canals?  Send a photo of yourself juxtaposed with something “canal” and your brief answers to… canalsocietyofnysphotos@gmail.com.
