context_page_description: The Old Erie Canal State Historic Park encompasses a 36-mile linear segment of the original Erie Canal's Long Level section. It extends westward from Butternut Creek in the town of DeWitt, just east of Syracuse, to the outskirts of Rome, New York. The park includes restored segments of the canal's waterway and towpath which were in active use between 1825 and 1917. It is part of the New York State Park system.
context_section_description: The 1,191-acre (4.82 km²) park lies within Madison, Oneida, and Onondaga counties. The park passes near or through several communities, including Fayetteville, Manlius Center, Kirkville, Chittenango, Canastota, Durhamville and New London.
  Five miles (8.0 km) east of Butternut Creek, the canal passes by the entrance to Green Lakes State Park.
  The park's terminus is at the Erie Canal Village, a now defunct privately operated museum and historic recreation of a 19th-century canal village located outside of Rome, which featured a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway.
