Colonial Belle-Erie Canal Tour

Erie Canal at Lockport NY

July 29, 2011. Erie Canal, Lockport New York.
The Erie Canal is a waterway in New York that runs about 363 miles (584 km) from Albany, New York, on the Hudson River to Buffalo, New York, at Lake Erie, completing a navigable water route from the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes. The canal contains 36 locks and encompasses a total elevation differential of around 565 ft. (169 m). First proposed in 1807, it was under construction from 1817 to 1825 and officially opened[1] on October 26, 1825.

It was the first transportation system between the eastern seaboard (New York City) and the western interior (Great Lakes) of the United States that did not require portage, was faster than carts pulled by draft animals, and cut transport costs by about 95%. The canal fostered a population surge in western New York state, opened regions farther west to settlement, and helped New York City become the chief U.S. port. It was enlarged between 1834 and 1862. In 1918, the enlarged canal was replaced by the larger New York State Barge Canal.

Today, it is part of the New York State Canal System. In 2000, the United States Congress designated the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor[2] to recognize the national significance of the canal system as the most successful and influential human-built waterway and one of the most important works of civil engineering and construction in North America. Mainly used by recreational watercraft in the recent past, the canal saw an upsurge in commercial traffic in 2008 (wikipedia)

Rochester, New York in Less than 3 Minutes

I used to think the only tourist destinations in the state of New York were New York city and Niagara Falls. Little did I ever think about breaking up the drive between Niagara and New York City with a side trip. That is, until I had the opportunity to visit Rochester and the Finger Lakes areas with 50 of my Macaroni Kid publisher sisters at our annual Boondoggle hosted by Visit Rochester. Join us for a tour of the Rochester area in less than 3 minutes!
