As part of the New York State Canal Trail System, Newark's portion extends 1.5 miles from T. Spencer Knight Park west to Stebbins Road, with a view of the Erie Canal long most areas.  The 8-10 foot wide trail provides visitors with an enjoyable journey.  Rest areas are available throughout the trail with a walk bridge to cross over to Edgett Street which provides access to the Newark Plaza, fast food restaurants, bowling alley, and a 24-hour drug store.

For the extreme hikers, bikers, joggers and cross-country skiers, the trail winds its way through surrounding farms, woodlands, and neighboring municipalities for miles.

As an added attraction to our Erie Canal surroundings, a mural (entitled "Erie Canal 1825") is painted on the wall under the Veteran's Memorial Bridge by the Visitor's Center.  This is a project created by Art in Public Places and was painted by Corky Goss and Robert (Chip) Miller.

A Walking Map has been developed showing businesses and attractions within the Newark area to provide information for boaters as well as other visitors.  The map can be found at the Visitor Center as well as other locations throughout the Village of Newark.
