What's needed

An image of the War of 1812 shield might be nice to have.
This article is only linked in two other articles (National Scenic Byway and New York State Route 104B); other articles need to link to it (although I wouldn't do so for every route that carries the Seaway Trail).
Perhaps a photograph or two, showing either typical scenery or a sign assembly (or, ideally, both!).

Assessment

So what needs to be done to bring this article up to B-class? Powers ^T 14:46, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Some history and pictures of the trail would be a good addition. --TMF ^{Let's Go Mets - Stats} 22:43, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Title

@QuincyMorgan moved this article to Great Lakes Seaway Trail instead of just Seaway Trail, but I don't see any discussion. I would propose reverting the move, as the common name is still "Seaway Trail". Powers ^T 04:06, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Both names are pretty common at this point. I think the full name might even be more common in more recent publications, judging from travel guides on Google Books, including those by National Geographic and Fodor's. The article currently treats "Seaway Trail" as an alias and uses it throughout the subsequent sections, which seems fine to me. Minh Nguyễn ^💬 00:14, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
