Champlain Canalway Trail

The Town’s trail system includes three stone dust sections along the Champlain Canal & Hudson River. The first two segments are completed and form a continuous 4-mile trail. From the south, it extends north near School House Lane to Upper Newtown Road. The trail has wayfinding and interpretive signs, some with interactive QR code signage. The third trail segment is about 2-miles in length and is in the design stage. A fourth segment under development is a connector trail from the Brookwood Road trailhead to Lighthouse Park.
