Running parallel to the river, the 17-mile Erie Canalway Trail runs from Amsterdam to Schenectady, providing scenic walking and biking routes along the riverfront. For boating or sailing, residents can head to Onondaga Lake, which links to the Seneca River and has several marinas and a yacht club.

In the winter months, the lake offers snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.
