Amsterdam is a nice town along the Erie Canal between Lock E10 and Lock E11. Here you can stop at the beautiful Riverlink Park and access the town for supplies, shopping, laundry and more. For those looking to be away from the nice services of the Riverlink park, Amsterdam also offers the option of Guy Park, which is just west of Lock E11.
