Learn about historical and modern canal life while enjoying a leisurely three-hour lock cruise onboard the Colonial Belle. Or rent an adaptive or regular kayak or bicycle from Erie Canal Boat Company to explore independently. The village features a range of restaurants, cafes, and shops within easy walking distance of the canal. Fairport’s picturesque bridge is one of 16 lift bridges between Fairport and Lockport and the most unusual, built at an angle and with a slope.
