Champlain Canal Trail
The Champlain Canalway Trail (CCT) crosses the Dix Bridge, a restored structure on the State and National Register of Historic Places. The bridge provides passage over the Hudson River linking the pedestrian, bicycle and snowmobile trails of Washington and Saratoga counties. The CCT follows Route 113 north to State Route 4. The trail crossed State Route 4 and continues onto River Road – a low-use, scenic, riverside road that brings the traveller Champlain Canal Lock 6 in the Hamlet of Fort Miller in the Town of Fort Edward.
Empire State Trail
The EST will follow the path of the CCT through the Town of Greenwich.
