  • 2. Erie Canal
    ERIE CANAL The largest of the four canals that make up the NYS Canal System, the Erie Canal was built between 1817 and 1825 and traversed 363 miles from Albany to Buffalo. It was the longest artificial waterway and the greatest public works project in North America. The canal put New York on the map as the Empire State—the leader in population, industry, and economic strength. It transformed New York City into the nation’s principal seaport and opened the interior of North America to settlement. Equally important, the Erie Canal became a central element forging our national identity. Built with a combination of vision, determination, ingenuity, and hard work, the Erie Canal solidified these central elements of our American character. It’s here you’ll find engineering marvels, historic vessels and canal sites, and lively Main Streets, along with great recreational opportunities and hundreds of festivals and events. As you travel, you’ll discover that each region has its own distinctive flavor. Visit more than one, or go “end to end” to enjoy it all. MORE INFORMATION about exploring the canal and its history as well as supporting the preservation and heritage initiatives along the water, is available at ericanalway.org. MORE INFORMATION about navigating the canal system, can be found at canals.ny.gov. 28 NEW YORK STATE CANALWAY WATER TRAIL GUIDEBOOK | eriecanalway.org Erie Canal–Buffalo BUFFALO Commercial Slip, Canalside, Buffalo Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation Explore New York’s second-largest city, one for self-propelled vessels, shifted the point of that was transformed when the Erie Canal entry from Buffalo to Tonawanda, about 14 opened in 1825.

All rights reserved. THE ESSENTIAL LENS COMBO The 10 o’clock news says one more day of blue skies before the weather turns to crud. That clinches it: photographer William Beecher Jr. packs his camera bag with a body and two essential Sigma lenses: the 24-105mm F4 Art and the 100-400mm F5-6.3 Contemporary. “Sigma has produced two winning lenses that have revolutionized and simplifi ed my bag,” says Beecher. “These are my staple, go-to action lenses. I don’t like wasting opportunity or being stuck with the wrong equipment.” Both feature durable, solid construction and optical stabilization for sharp photographs even under the most diffi cult conditions. The Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary telephoto lens is compact and lightweight, and provides the reach and sharpness usually found in larger, heavier lenses. According to Beecher, “This lens will get you where you want to be, with great depth and clarity.” The Sigma 24-105mm F4 DG OS HSM Art is a high-performance zoom lens designed for high-resolution digital cameras.
