About
Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises runs narrated sightseeing cruises of about two hours on the Erie Canal. The route passes five of the original 1800s locks, including the double set, Locks 34 and 35, where the boat is raised 50 feet, and goes under the town's bridges and through the deep rock cut. Public cruises run from early May to mid-October; private and group cruises and banquets are also offered and are not covered here.
