How much is the trail between Buffalo and Rochester? My friends and I are interested in doing this soon but my friends are very anti dirt

How much is the trail unpaved*

The map on follow URL is good at what is paved and what is not.

The map on the PTNY.org website is a good map regarding the surfaces on the Erie Canal.

Hi Nate, Buffalo to the Tonawanda’s is paved surface but after that, it’s crushed gravel. Not really dirt but you And your friends (and your bikes) will be dusty after a day in it. I think you will find it agreeable as you roll pretty fast considering. If it rains hard, the trail gets a little soupy but it drains eventually. I think around Rochester you pick up some more paved trail but I don’t recall where exactly. I think there’s a thread in here From not long ago that mentioned where that is. John from Cobleskill is on the money with his suggestion of checking out the PTNY website and map. Best of luck!
