There's a unique and spooky Halloween attraction waiting for you just three hours west of Utica, if you dare...

The Lockport Cave & Underground Boat Ride near Buffalo offers the public an exciting guided tour through America’s past. You will explore Erie Canal Locks constructed in 1842. You'll glide through a tunnel past stalactites, flow stone, various geological formations and artifacts left behind by the men who built the tunnel in the early days of the Erie Canal.
