Erie Canal Towpath, where horses or oxen used to pull boats. Of course the trees were not overgrown then.

part of the Sheffield canal and river system, there is some lovely scenery, I don't think most of Sheffielders realise just how many lovely places there are actually in Sheffield itself. You really don't have to go far to reach any of it. There are some lovely walks on the riverside and canal towpaths

The towpath is the dirt and stone path that runs 184.5 miles along the C&O Canal, where visitors can walk, run, or bike the distance between Georgetown and Cumberland, MD. It was originally built for the canal mules to walk beside the canal as they “towed” the canal boats through the waterway. Today, it is a popular recreational trail.
