Nope. No mules here.
The Erie Canal song relates "I've got a mule and her name is Sal." Sorry, but Sal would not be pulling boats along this trail. This canal was constructed as the Barge Canal between 1905-1918 when boats traveled by motor power, not mules. This trail is more about pleasure than pulling boats. It's part of the Erie Canalway Trail— one of the best trails in America.It follows the active and historic NYS Canal System. This includes about 300 miles of multiple use trails across upstate New York.Trailhead parking and interpretive kiosks with historic information are located at many points along the Erie Canalway Trail. And even though Sal did not work the trail below you, there are many section that follow historic towpaths. If you go far enough, you can bike or hike in the hoof prints of horses and mules that came before us.
