Confirmed from Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Peaceful park featuring a restored aqueduct, plus hiking trails, and opportunities for fishing and jogging.
What runners say about Nine Mile Creek Aqueduct
“Very beautiful site and a great place for a walk”
“Great place for a walk or jog or even to take a few casts.”
“Exellent place for a peaceful walk very serene and well kept grounds.”
You don't see very many aqueducts left in the world - especially not many on the old Erie Canal. Here they rebuilt the aqueduct to carry the canal over Nine Mile creek. The trail follows along the towpath for a few miles providing ample biking or hiking opportunities. Also try your hand at some fishing!
Nice spot to get some fresh air. Flat even walking path along a canal with lots of wildlife to see.
Excellent place to walk, run, bike, kayak. Took a friend who was visiting and hasn't seen it in 20 years and he couldn't believe the changes to the trail and surrounding area, let alone that they rebuilt the Aquaduct
It was just some old abutments for decades. They did a fabulous job rebuilding this structure that carries the Erie Canal over Nine Mile Creek. Great place for a walk or jog or even to take a few casts.
