Reviews of Historic Erie Canal "Flight of Five" Combined Locks
"This is a cute little town. We went on a Saturday and there was a cool little street fair. They had live music and plenty of vendors. You can walk out on the canal and watch the ships. The town is very clean. Local people are very friendly and helpful. Definitely a great location to visit"
"Fun place to check out & learn the history of the locks. Lots of activities to experience, and there even a boat you can take to experience the locks. Lots of shopping and restaurants in the area. Take a walk or ride your bike down the empire trail."
"Pretty impressive set of locks which were used to lower or lift barges 60 feet of the Niagara Escarpment. Very pleasant settings. Definitely worth the visit."
"Self-guided options and plenty of space to keep that 6ft. There are benches and a picnic table in the area. We got takeaway and enjoyed a picnic. The area was well kept. I did not see a public restroom around, but there was plenty of parking around the locks and several options for food and drink."
"Really great location to show how the lock system work along the Erie Canal. My family and I really enjoyed watching a few boats come into the locks in action."
