Canines are taking over the Erie Canal on Sept. 19



Has your dog ever taken a ride on the Erie Canal? This is the year to bring your dog along on a memorable ride in Lockport, home to the only set of double locks and the only working 19th century and 20th century locks.

This year’s cruise with be September 19 at 3 pm and some dogs will be returning for their fourth cruise on this historic waterway.

This is the 201st anniversary of the completion of the Erie Canal after eight long years. From the beginning of the Erie Canal dogs have been on the waterway with their canal boat families.

“Our dog cruises were a great success, and we could not have asked for better behaved guests,” explained Mike Murphy, founder and owner of Lockport Locks & Erie Canal Cruises. “Last year we even welcomed a couple from Providence, R.I. who drove to Lockport for the cruise with their dog.”

The past three cruises have been quite popular with water loving Labrador retrievers and they have been the number one breed. Other canine passengers ranged from mastiffs to tiny terriers.

Help set a dog record. Dogs are free. Reservations are required. Donations will be collected for the Niagara SPCA. Call 716-433-6155 or visit lockportlocks.com.
