This also continues to provide water in “our” section of the canal to make it possible for us to receive a post-navigation commercial permit. We’ll be cruising until Oct 27th this season, a few weeks longer than the public canal closing date. 😎

Are you for REEL?!

You know summer ending does not mean the end of fishing—the season continues along our Western NY tributaries!

For the fifth year, we’ll be releasing water from the Erie Canal to extend your season and create even better angling conditions.

Yesterday, Colonial Belle’s Captain Tammee was asked to offer some remarks during a presentation at the New York State Tourism Industry Association conference in Saratoga Springs about the upcoming 2025 Erie Canal Bicentennial as she is acting Chair of Canal NY Marketing & Business Alliance (Discover the NY Canals) & the President of the NYS Tour Boat Association (Cruise New York). The conference attendees included 200+ tourism leaders from all over NYS.

The majority of the presentation was given by NYS Canal Corporation Director, Brain Stratton & Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor Deputy Director, Jean Mackay with a panel discussion moderated by Bill Sweitzer of the NYS Canal Corporation.

Canal NY also had a hybrid version of their monthly board of directors meeting after the canal related presentation at that conference.

Then Captain Tammee was back at the wheel of CB for a fabulous Sunset Lock Tour w/ Live Music by Chris Baerman last night. ⚓️🎶
