As we enter Lockport it’s on a designated BIKE LANE. Makes me happy!

26.52 miles as we get to our B&B, Hamilton House. Even though we were very early, Suzanne was gracious and allowed us to dump our gear in our room. We decided it was too far to walk to the Canal Cruise so we rode our bikes. After lunch at Friendlys, we headed for the tourist attraction.

We did this:
Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises

Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises provides relaxing two-hour cruises on the historic Erie Canal, which includes “locking through” the only double set of locks on the Erie Canal. .....visit our Gift Shop and Erie Canal Heritage Museum. Enjoy a relaxing trip on the canal and “live life in the past lane.” * Experience a unique 2-hour cruise which includes "locking through" and being raised the 49 ft. elevation of the Niagara Escarpment (the same one that creates Niagara Falls) in the only double set of locks on the Erie Canal. You will pass under bridges that raise straight up, see water cascade over Lockport's famous "Flight of Five" 1840's locks, and travel through the solid walls of the "rock cut" as your Coast Guard licensed captain describes the architecture, sights, and folklore along the way. $13 for AAA members.

We did not do this:
Lockport Cave & Underground Boat Ride
