Welcome to the
The Feeder Canal Alliance is the steward of the Glens Falls Feeder Canal and 9 mile long Towpath Trail in New York’s Warren and Washington Counties. The Glens Falls Feeder is the last remaining original canal in NY still operating as originally constructed to continuously carry water to the highest point of the Champlain Canal.
Our Story
From the early 1800’s until 1941, the Glens Falls Feeder Canal provided a means of transportation by canal boats for people and numerous goods. The canal and towpath today provide four season recreational opportunities to community residents, visitors and tourists, as well as a glimpse into the past. The Feeder Canal Alliance, a 501c3 founded in 1987, preserves, promotes and protects the Glens Falls Feeder Canal and Towpath Trail through diverse educational programs and special events, and sharing its unique history and contributions to Glens Falls, Hudson Falls, Ft. Edward and the Adirondacks.
