First NYS Canal Corporation Notice to Mariners (NTM)
announcement of 2026, opening & closing dates.
Once again, New York State has stated that the Erie Canal System
will be open for just under 5 months in 2026 for navigation.
This marks a return to the norm of being closed, more than open
for the waterway, with about a month on either end of navigation
season used for watering & dewatering, along with safety
assessments of the Canal System. You can read the announcement
