Discover Better Boating: Journey Along the Erie Canal (August 2013)

In this edition of Discover Better Boating, New York Sea Grant's Coastal Recreation and Tourism Specialist Dave White takes us along the Erie Canal. "This is a wonderful boating resource for those of us who live along the Canal area," said White. Joining White is Dan Wiles of Mid-Lakes Navigation. "This Canal system in New York State is one-of-a-kind," said Wiles,"thanks to the opportunities provided for transportation, recreation, irrigation and various commercial activities." "As a boater, what tips would you give me to enjoy this great recreational resource?" asked White. "I would not be in a hurry," said Wiles," as canal-ing is not a fast way to get somewhere. So, if you want to sit back, relax and enjoy the experience of getting somewhere, this is the best way to go." "If I don't own a boat, can I get access to this resource?" asked White. "Absolutely," said Wiles. "There are canoe and kayak rentals all over the place. And, if you want to do a little bit more, Mid-Lakes Navigation offers different kinds of cruises as well as a fleet of boats that people can rent by the week or half-week." In addition to one- to three-day canal cruises, Mid-Lakes offers self-skippered canalboat charters, and sightseeing, dinner, jazz, brunch and lunch cruises on both the Erie Canal and Skaneateles Lake. For more on this topic, as well as a helpful clean boating tip, check out the video clip. And there's more "NYSG Great Lakes Boating & Marine Trades" News available via the "News/Topics" link in the left-hand sidebar at www.nyseagrant.org/marina.
