Trace the Black River Canal !
If you want to do something fun, you can trace how the Alder Pond Dam diverts water from the upper Black River lakes (such as North Lake, Woodhull Lake, South Lake, Sand Lake) into the Black River Canal, the upper part which is still used for moving water to the Lansing Kill which dumps into the Mohawk River and Delta Reservoir in Westernville.
