Recommended sections: Either Cuyahoga Valley NP, or the very short ride from Bolivar to Zoar... (Zoar is worth visiting, if you're down that way.)

FWIW, I think the Ohio one is better, but I'm biased.

Thanks for the quick reply. We are thinking NY canal, specifically looking for recommendations re sections to ride (not interested in riding entire length) that are considered better than others—more scenic, nice/quaint towns to ride through.
But since we are also going through Ohio and will near Cleveland we might do both trails. Hey, good to be retired w no schedule!
Thanks for your help!
