There couldn't be a better way to enjoy the last weekend of summer than by taking a leisurely cruise up the Niagara River and through the Black Rock locks at 10:00 a.m. this Sunday, September 5. Join docents of Buffalo Tours and the Buffalo Niagara Riverkeeper on the Miss Buffalo on a two-hour tour and learn about the history and environmental issues of this natural wonder, right in our backyard.
Why is it incorrect to call the Niagara a river? How many light houses are there? Can we see any remnants of the original Erie Canal? And how many species of gulls can be found along the Niagara? Find out the answers to these and many other questions.
Reservations are recommended, as space is limited. Meet at the Miss Buffalo Cruise Boats on Marine Drive on the Buffalo waterfront. The cost is $20 or $10 for students ($15/$5 for members). Boarding begins at 9:30 a.m.
For more information, call 716-852-3399 or visit www.BuffaloTours.org. Tickets can be purchased over the phone or online.

Why it is incorrect to call the Niagara a river? because it is actually a strait between Lake Erie and Ontario.
Can we see any remants of the Erie Canal? There is a small dead end piece at the International Railroad Bridge.
Good to see the interest in the history and environmental issues surrounding the Niagara River.
