The Feeder Canal
The Feeder Canal was constructed in the early 1800s to direct water from the Hudson River to the Champlain Canal, and as a means of transportation for people and goods. Today the canal is outlined by a nine-mile walking and biking trail that runs from McIntyre Park in Fort Edward to the Feeder Dam in Queensbury. Five miles of the canal are suitable for canoeing, with waters no deeper than 4 feet. The entire canoe trip takes roughly 1.5 hours.
