Lockport Cave is finally offering one of the longest underground boat tours in the country, on the Erie Canal for the 2021 season.
The tours have been canceled since the coronavirus pandemic. But the boats are back to running at Lockport Cave with a few new modifications and safety guidelines. Social distancing and mask wearing is optional and at your discretion.
You ll start your tour walking along the banks of the Erie Canal, tour the cave by lantern light and experience one of America’s longest underground boat rides. You ll see artifacts left by miners on the Erie Canal over a century ago, cave formations in their early stages of development and enjoy a “peaceful and eerie” ride as a boat glides through the lifeless water, illuminated only by small, sporadically placed electric lights.
