More about Cayuga-Seneca Canal Trail...

The Cayuga-Seneca Canalway Trail spans 5 miles from Waterloo to Seneca Lake State Park, following the historic Seneca County Railway route. Constructed in the late 1800s, this railway became part of the Lehigh Valley Railroad in 1903 and operated until the early 1970s. The current trail segment begins near Lock 4, winding through picturesque landscapes, wetlands, and the Bishop Preserve. It offers a smooth limestone dust surface suitable for walking, jogging, biking, and wheelchair use. The trail connects to Seneca Lake State Park via a tunnel under 96A, granting access to the lakefront and park amenities. This trail is part of a larger project aiming to create a 19-mile rail-trail connecting Cayuga and Seneca Lakes, highlighting historical, natural, and cultural significance while contributing to the Erie Canalway Trail's expansion.
