Hi all. I am coming to Utica in a few weeks and wanted to take my nephew out for a 50 mile ride on the canal trails. It looks like they don't start in Utica form what I can see on the maps. I was hoping to start there and head east or west. Should we drive to another town and go from there? Any advice? Thanks!

Here’s a map that the “Cycle the Erie Canal” event uses. https://www.ptny.org/bike-canal/map/

Look like you can start in Utica and go west as there is a combo paved/stone dust trail. Going East appears to be on roads (some of the Canal doesn’t exist any more in spots).
