The Waterford paddling tour combines the locks of the Erie Canal and the Mohawk River. We all know that Waterford's history includes it as a major thoroughfare for travel and shipping through the Erie Canal. The Waterford paddling tour gives you a glimpse of history while traveling through the beautiful islands and the Erie Canal grand locks. Expert guides will bring you through while telling you about the rich history of both cities. Tours are $35 per person.
