Erie Canal opens to boaters for 2021 season [View all]

Boaters can travel along upstate New York's most famous waterway this weekend.

The Erie Canal's 2021 navigation season kicked off Friday morning and will run through mid-October. This year is a full season after last year's shortened season because of the pandemic.

Canal officials say it has a little something for everyone.

"What I like about the canal system ... it's just so different depending on where you are in the state," said Ambrose Barbuto of the New York State Canal Corporation. "I mean, there's some areas where you want to experience a village feel where you can stop and get a bite to eat or do some shopping. Then there's some areas where it's very rural and you can enjoy the wildlife."

All locks and lift bridges are now in operation for the season.
