So far there's been no official announcements regarding the NY canals being impacted by COVID-19. It's possible that may change in the next few weeks before they open, however. At a minimum, I'd expect you could get up the
Hudson to at least the Troy lock. Based on how things are going so far, I'd say it's unlikely for the Hudson to be restricted.
The Seaway is currently closed to all recreational traffic, however, so that option is out until something changes.
If/when you do end up making it to Rochester, let me know and we'll give you a wave if we see you coming in. We'll hopefully be launching some time in May based on
current information, so when
weather and time permits, we'll be on the
boat in some form.
