Glens Falls Feeder Canal.
The Glens Falls Feeder Canal is a 2-acre remnant of the 1832 waterway that once carried logs and supplies from the Hudson River to the Champlain Canal — now a narrow, quiet strip of water threading through the southeastern edge of the Adirondack Park boundary. It's not wilderness water: you're in village context here, with road access and walking paths along the towpath, more urban greenway than backcountry destination. No fish data on record, no peaks in sight, no designated camping — this is the kind of water that matters more to local historians and morning joggers than to paddlers or anglers. If you're passing through Glens Falls en route to Lake George, the canal offers a five-minute glimpse of the working-water history that built the southern Adirondacks before tourism did.
Glens Falls Feeder Canal has public access.
