Newark is a nice stop on the Erie Canal for boaters. Docking is free at T. Spencer Knight Park, along with electricity, water, laundry and shower facilities. The dock is very close to a movie theater, mini golf, some restaurants, a pharmacy, and a discount grocery store. Wegmans, a much nicer grocery store is a 1.5 mile walk from the dock.

There is a great section of the Erie Canal Path that runs from T. Spencer Knight Park all the way to Rochester, NY. The path starts on the North side of the Canal from the park which is just northeast of the intersection of routes 31 & 88. It is a great trail for biking & walking. Lots of people also enjoy fishing along the canal. The Erie Canal Path goes all the way to Buffalo, NY but there may be some unfinished sections between Rochester & Buffalo.
Two or three miles of nice trails through pine woods. A small body of water border on the west and a large drumlin borders to the east.
