Cycle the historic Erie Canal, using the same towpath that stretches from the waters of the Hudson River in the east to Lake Erie in the west. These family and beginner-friendly bicycle rides allow you to experience the canal and enjoy canal historians’ stories about the people, places and things that made life along the Erie Canal unique in its day.

Museum grounds will be open at no charge to riders. Refreshments and ice cream available for purchase.
