About Old Erie Canal State Historic Park
A 36-mile linear stretch of the original Erie Canal's Long Level section makes up this park, running from Butternut Creek in DeWitt westward to the outskirts of Rome. Restored sections of the canal's waterway and towpath remain from the era of active use between 1825 and 1917. The park is maintained as part of the New York State Park system.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
