Camillus Erie Canal Park

The Camillus Erie Canal park is a gentle, accessible, and historic outdoors experience.
You can find this park on a seven-​mile stretch of the Erie Canal. A slice of 1844 history, it’s the site of a period general store, boathouse, and fully functional aqueduct. For walking or biking, there’s a a flat, gravel trail that runs along the eastern side of the canal. At several points along the path, you can cut into the woods and traverse old Clinton’s Ditch. On the western side is a less-​groomed, grassy path that’s hikable.
The fully-​functional aqueduct is a rare sight to see! The only navigable overpass waterway in New York State, the park restored the structure true to its 1844 design. Large stone archways span over the broiling creek, allowing gentle passage on the canal above.
From the history buff looking to cross a gem off their «National Register of Historic Places» bucket list, to the local who just wants some easy fresh air, Camillus Erie Canal Park makes for a great visit.
