They come with RVs and motorcycles, cars and campers to the Seaway Trail Overview which treks through 518 miles of spectacular scenery through New York and Pennsylvania. Sweeping past Lakes Erie and Ontario, through the Thousand Island Region, past Presque Isle and the Adirondack Mountain Range, this byway has some of the most picturesque views in the Northeast. There's no end to the recreational pleasures available in the region. Hiking and camping facilities are numerous. Biking, too, is quite popular. In the winter, skiing is a favorite pastime. And with water all around, there are plenty of opportunities for boating and fishing throughout the area. Visiting museums, battlefields, farmsteads, and the hometowns of celebrities such as Lucille Ball, Theodore Roosevelt, and Harriet Tubman enhances the pleasure of the trip. The scenery en route is varied, changing from gentle drumlins to rolling tides, sleepy harbors, rugged bluffs, and lush green forests. There are countless points of interest along the way that inform, entertain, and inspire the artist in each of us. Tibbetts Point Lighthouse in Cape Vincent is one of 28 historic lighthouses that brings a special character to the region. The rumbling waters of Niagara Falls plunge through the area with a stunning display of power. And, Boldt Castle sits alone on its melancholy island, a symbol of lost love. The Seaway Trail zig zags along the northern border of New York state, touching on the northeastern tip of Pennsylvania. The New York portion of the Trail originates in Ripley. It runs along Routes 5, 266, 265, 104, 18F, 18, 404, 101, 14, 163, 370, 104 A, 104 B,3, 12E, 12, 37, 812, 37, 131 and back again onto Route 37 where the Trail ends in the town of Rooseveltown.
