NYS Seaway Trail gets a makeover

BUFFALO, NY - The scenic byway now goes by a new name -- Great Lakes Seaway Trail.

Officials have also unveiled a new logo in the hopes of replacing the signs that have marked the 518-mile route since 1978.

Seaway Trail officials are on a three-day, six-stop tour of the state this week to get out the word on the new look and the new name.

The organization hopes to get state and federal funding to create and install the new signs.

The tour kicked off Tuesday in Ogdensburg and Sackets Harbor, and also includes stops in Oswego, Webster, Niagara Falls and Erie, Pa.
