The New York State Canal Corporation recently came to Oswego to celebrate its “On the Canal” initiative. The program offers five outdoor excursions through Oswego Expeditions in the Port City. They include Kids Paddlesports on the Canal, Urban Paddle, Learn to Kayak, Standup Paddleboard Lessons and Sunset Paddling. These free experiences are a unique opportunity for people to experience the New York State Canal System and the Empire State Trail and try their hand at one of these novel activities.
