Feeder Canal In The Adirondacks Of Upstate New York

The 7-mile Feeder Canal is an important piece of history in the Adirondacks. Dating back to the early 19th Century, the project began with a desire to bring the water of the Hudson River to Lake Champlain. The canal was started in 1817 and opened in 1822. In 1832, a construction project was completed to widen and deepen the Feeder Canal to accommodate boat traffic.

Today, the historic Feeder Canal still has an important role in the Adirondack community. It is one of many canals in New York State, which combined span over 520 miles. The Feeder Canal offers a great place for biking, strolling and site seeing. This waterway also feeds into the Champlain Canal, which runs from Waterford to Whitehall NY and is part of the New York State Barge Canal System.
