Widewaters Canal Park — photo spot in 5263 NY-31, Newark, NY 14513, USA


Widewaters Canal Park
Score4.2Small riverside park on the Erie Canal with a lock, towpath, boardwalk and low bridges — great for reflections, long exposures of moving water, intimate landscapes and historic canal details. Easy roadside parking and level paths make gear transport simple. Visit at sunrise or golden hour for warm side lighting and mirror-like water; spring and especially fall bring colorful foliage. Weekdays are quieter; no entry fee.
