The state of New York recently completed the "Empire State Trail" which includes a section from NYC to the Canadian border. The Albany to Canada section runs along the eastern part of the Adirondacks.
Even though the Empire State Trail encompasses the Erie Canalway along with the new sections, don't expect the Albany to Canada section to look like the Erie Canal. A good part of that section is essentially more of a bike route, with a good percentage using roads and highways.
You can see the road vs trail proportions in this map, where road is yellow and trail is green: https://empiretrail.ny.gov/map
