To better assist you with your trip planning, we have compiled a list of travel resources along the Canal. Most regional tourism offices can provide information and brochures on specific areas along the New York State Canal System. While not all county and regional tourism offices create Canal-themed brochures, most can assist visitors with trip planning ideas and logistics. For more details on specific I LOVE NY regions, visit the official New York State tourism website at www.iloveny.com.
