The city of Rome like many of the cities across New York was developed because of the success of the canal system. Over time the canal was moved from it original course though own the current path just just inside the city border.
Rome is also one end of the famous stretch of undeveloped Old Erie Canal between Rome and Dewitt. Along this stretch, the original canal remains nearly untouched from the time is was used in the early 1900's. Just west of Rome, near Lock E21 and Lock E22 the canal walking/biking trail crosses the canal. If you want to stretch your legs, this is a good spot to walk, run or bike in a peaceful setting.
