New York Sea Grant is coordinating the establishment of five model scuba diving sites along the 454-mile Seaway Trail Scenic Byway. The dive site system includes the New York State David W. Mills Submerged Cultural Preserve and Dive Site near Oswego, the Eagle Wings Dive Site near Clayton and three additional sites under development. Each will be accessible from some point along the Seaway Trail.

The New York State Seaway Trail is a 454 mile scenic route paralleling the St. Lawrence River, Lake Ontario, the Niagara River and Lake Erie. Seaway Trail Pennsylvania continues the route 50 miles along Lake Erie to the Ohio state line. A well-marked alternative to interstate highways and toll roads, the Seaway Trail leads to eye-opening treasures you might otherwise overlook.

We'll help make your next vacation one you'll remember for a lifetime.

Use the green and white trailblazers along the Seaway Trail to guide you on your journey from West Springfield on Lake Erie to Rooseveltown on the St. Lawrence. Each marker features footprints and a watermark reminding you that the route parallels NYS's and Pennsylvania's freshwater coastline.

NYS Seaway Trail is proud to have been selected as a National Scenic Byway by the U.S. Department of Transportation. National Scenic Byways "possess outstanding qualities that exemplify the regional characteristics of our nation." The Seaway Trail was chosen for its unique landscape which has been sculpted by the forces of nature and for its historical significance.
