Erie Canalway Trail (Middleport to Albion)

The stonedust (finely-ground, compacted limestone) path is on the north side of the Erie Canal with sweeping vistas of agricultural fields and rural landscapes, and water views of boats and canal bridges and gates.

At 30.3 km, this is a challenging full-day or multi-stage hike. At an average pace, the route takes roughly 6 hours and 44 minutes to complete.

As a linear trail, this route has distinct start and end points. Return transport is worth arranging in advance unless you plan to walk back the same way. Look for the ECT trail markings to stay on the official route.

Part of the Local Walking Network (LWN), this trail is ideal for exploring the neighbourhood landscape. It is typically well-known to local walkers and offers an authentic sense of place.
