The Old Erie Canal State Park trail runs about 36 miles between Dewitt, New York, and Rome New York, along the old Erie Canal, with a couple of short sections of road riding. It is part of the planned 500-mile Erie Canal route. Here are some web sites about the trail:
- New York State Canals (description, list of where to camp on linked page, construction information)
- State Park web site (brief description)
- nycanal.com (rough map, directions to trailheads)

If I flew into Syracuse, where’s a good place to rent a bike and is it “close enough” to the west end of the Trail? I am looking for a hybrid.
I’m not sure… you might try one of the web sites above, or do a web search to find bike rentals. Good luck!
