Looking for something to do before the snow comes? Try out this guide " to 400 miles of adventure and history along the Erie Canalway Trail. Great for walkers, boaters and auto travelers too!"
Cycling the Erie Canal, published by the Parks and Trails New York (spiral soft cover, the "Newly Revised" edition, but without any stated date. $2)
Here are more than 33 full page maps, linked on the opposite page with "things to see and do", "trail and travel notes" and "service areas" which means banks, laundry, and post offices etc. These are not to be confused with "facilities", where restrooms, parking, bike shops and information can be found. Did you hear me mention restrooms? They are REALLY important things, restrooms. Also included here are places to stay the night, whether in a bed or in a sleeping bag. For novice cyclists there are even pages on bike safety and etiquette. All for $2. What a steal. Look for this book in the local section.
