One
of our favorite destinations is the Erie Canal,
which originally began in downtown Buffalo, and
later when the canal was widened and renamed the
Erie Canal Barge Canal, the canal began, and still
begins, at North Tonawanda on the Niagara River
where Tonawanda Creek empties into the river.
We have biked in five-mile bites from Lockport
to Brockport, and we've rowed a time or two, too. |

 02 Sept. 02: We spent the afternoon biking from
Lock E32 (Lock 32 State Canal Park) in Pittsford, near
Rochester, to Lock E33 and a bit beyond, to Rochester
Institute of Technology. It was our first bike ride of
this season on the canal. We saw a sailboat come through
that we had seen the day before near Albion. The lock
park is nice, and well-used by the locals. |
