NOTICE TO MARINERS
Canal System Update
May 10, 2011

Mariners are advised, due to improving conditions along portions of the
NYS Canal System additional sections of the Erie Canal may open as early as
Saturday, May 14, 2011.  Conditions permitting, these sections are likely
to include the Erie Canal between Waterford and Oneida Lake and the Erie
Canal between Lyons and the Genesee River (Rochester).
Due to persistent high water and excessive flows, the Champlain Canal,
Oswego Canal, Cayuga-Seneca Canal and Erie Canal between Brewerton and
Lyons are expected to remain closed to navigation until at least the week
of May 23rd.

For updates and information, please call 1-800-4CANAL4 or visit

How are things on the canal.  Is there much room in Waterford or into the
canal for dockage and staging?  Waiting in Baltimore, Capt.Mimi
