The New York State Canal Corporation says a one-mile stretch of the Erie Canal Trail through Perinton is open again, ahead of schedule.
The trail was closed for emergency work to shore up the canal banks between Ayrault Road and Perinton Park. Steel sheeting was installed along the banks to prevent water seepage. Permanent repairs will be made after the canal season.
Navigation begins May 18th. Hikers, bikers and dog walkers are welcome now.
