Inscription. The Champlain Canalway Trail is currently a work-in-progress by the partnership of local and regional trail groups and public agencies, known as the Champlain Canalway Trail Working Group. They plan to link historic towpaths, existing local and regional trails, and on-street bicycle routes to connect community centers and regional attractions from Waterford to Whitehall.

Since 2008, this group has assisted communities to plan, develop, manage, and maintain trail facilities for use by walkers, cyclists, and even snowmobilers. Currently, off-road segments of the trail follow much of the historic towpath of the Champlain Canal, and includes the Crescent Trail along the Mohawk River, Glens Falls Feeder Canal Trail, Warren County Bikeway, Zim Smith Trail, and a snowmobile trail network. New York's Empire State Trail initiative for a 750-mile trail route spanning the state follows the Champlain Canalway Trail for nearly half of the route from Albany to Canada.
