It would be a shame to come to the area
and not see the ERIE CANAL.
I grew up in Fairport, NY
which is a charming village
that lies along the Erie Canal.
I absolutely love the canal
and the village of Fairport. You will too.

It Is Just 14.3 Mi Drive From The Nest-Cottage. 

we love to walk the canal Tow Path.
From: the village of Fairport
to: Perinton Park. 

Here are some things you can enjoy if you choose to journey there.
I also put some options that take you to:
The Village Of Pittsford 
and the Hamlet of Bushnell’s Basin.
Both are charming places to see as well.
