Buffalo Experience Gifts: A Scenic Boat Cruise is a delightful way to explore the beauty of the historic Erie Canal, a 363-mile-long waterway that stretches from the Hudson River in Albany to Lake Erie in Buffalo, New York.
As you board the boat, you are greeted by a friendly crew member who welcomes you aboard and provides a brief safety orientation. The boat is spacious and comfortable, with ample seating and large windows that offer panoramic views of the canal and its surroundings. The route passes through five of the fifty-seven locks on the canal, and under several of the unique bridges along the waterway (including the widest bridge in the United States). The captain will entertain you with stories of the history of the canal and its importance in shaping the development of the region, and the people who built the canal, the challenges they faced, and the impact that the canal had on commerce, industry, and transportation.
The Two Hour Erie Canal Locks Cruise is a wonderful day out for all ages, and makes a thoughtful experience gift for history buffs.
Check Availability & Book
Experience “Life in the Past Lane" when you get on board for your cruise on the historic Erie Canal, a 363-mile waterway between the Hudson River with Niagara River and the Great Lakes and an important part of American history.
Your fun and informative cruise will take you past five of the original 1800's locks. Three million gallons of water will fill Locks 34 & 35, the only double set on the Erie Canal, and raise the boat 50 feet. You’ll pass under Lockport's "Upside Down Bridge," Lockport's "Big Bridge" (the widest bridge in the U.S. at 299 feet wide), through the "deep rock cut" and under lift bridges. The lively narration by the Coast Guard Licensed Captains is also accompanied by crowd-pleasing canal music, popular during the 1800's.
