Fairport
Town Dock, Liftbridge Lane West, Fairport, NY
Southeast of Rochester, Fairport is handy to public
transportation and the many attractions of this cosmopolitan
region. The bustling village welcomes canallers to its
lively waterfront. It's a great spot to spend time meeting
other canallers. You'll be treated like a celebrity by
friendly, courteous people everywhere!
Cruise west on the Erie
toward Rochester and Buffalo. The original towpath serves
as a hiking and biking trail for over 100 miles, from
Macedon to Lockport. In Lockport, two huge locks gently
lift you nearly 50 feet, where you'll be able to see the
original flight of five locks built in 1825. North Tonawanda
is the western boundary and only a short cab ride from
Niagara Falls.
Seneca
Falls Canal Harbor, Seneca Falls, NY
Seneca Falls lies on the Cayuga-Seneca Canal in
the heart of the Finger Lakes. Explore Seneca and Cayuga
Lakes for excellent fishing, national parks and wineries.
Cruise west to Waterloo's Lock 4 and Seneca Lake, or east
through VanCleef Lake to the double lock chambers. Dockage,
electricity, and water is free in Seneca Falls.
You'll
join the Erie Canal just beyond the Montezuma National
Wildlife Refuge (keep the binoculars handy!). Cruise west
discovering postcard-perfect canal-side towns and villages
like Lyons, Palmyra, Fairport, and Pittsford; or, head
east through remote wooded stretches. Bald eagles may
greet you at Cross Lake as you cruise on toward Baldwinsville.
At Three Rivers, turn north on the Oswego Canal to the
Lake Ontario Port of Oswego and discover good fishing,
museums, and a lively city.

Half-Week Cruises on the Erie Canal
Some of our canallers have limited vacation time
and require a shorter cruise schedule. For this reason,
we offer special half-week packages.
