The Mohawk Towpath Scenic Byway follows the Mohawk River and old Erie Canal corridor — ideal for river reflections, lock and bridge details, towpath leading lines, and seasonal color (notably fall). Accessible trailheads and small parking areas (e.g., Riverview Rd) make easy stops; no entry fee. Best at golden hour or sunrise for soft light and mist; weekdays and early mornings reduce recreational traffic. Expect mixed paved/unpaved surfaces and some boardwalks; basic facilities vary by town. Em
