The bridge replaced a steel trestle built in 1875 by the Erie Railroad. The sad thing is, the state was given the opportunity to convert the old trestle to a pedestrian crosswalk, but they refused citing a lack of funding. Those two foundations are all that remain of the old bridge; all the other remaining pieces were scrapped. Please note, this is an active railroad bridge, DO NOT TRESPASS!!!

You really need to check this place out! It was a perfect fun stop on the way to Niagara Falls!

Corning's Gaffer District is a great place to go if you are looking for a relaxing holiday, or just…read moreto unwind from the busy life we all have. It's a small town after all. So, a weekend would be perfect, i.e. do not expect a whole lot to see. The glass-making session was such a unique experience. You can pick from making a colorful glass ornament to a vibrant glass flower. It's required to pick up your glasswork the next day from the proper cooling and packout processes. The museum part was also quite eye-opening to see what people can make with glass materials. As for restaurants, I personally like the Old World Cafe & Ice Cream and the Cugini Italian Market & Cafe. Nice people, good food, very festive. Friendly people, very chatty, like them a lot! LOL. For more visitor info, check this link out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCa-tG6nsMY Highly recommended.

They sell food, drinks, NY state wines, NY state products, etc. There are several brochures ( what I prefer even though I do lots of online research as well), and a tasting counter which is relatively inexpensive ($4). We had a lovely conversation with Don and his wife Marie, who were at an information booth. There is also a cool children's play structure outside. The photos don't do this center justice, but make sure you stop here before you plan anything!!!

You could also cross the street and be in the downtown area of Geneva where there are plenty of shops, restaurants etc. there are ample chairs and tables right outside the visitor center. There is a good amount of parking and the farmers market is held there on Saturdays. I sat under a willow tree at the park recently journaling and enjoying the scenery. Then I took a nice walk on the path along the lake.

I attended 2 different charters on this boat and both have been fantastic. I did a murder mystery…read moretour years ago and just did a Buffalo River History Cruise which I would highly recommend! The narrator, I think his name was Mike, was truly fantastic. I learned so many things about my own city and it was nice to do something fun on a beautiful summer day. They have a full bar on site with snacks if you're interested. The drinks were cold and delicious and the staff were nice. Overall 5/5 for the boat rides. My only comment would be to be flexible. If they don't have enough guests registered for the ride they may have to cancel, so just be aware of that.

Last October, when the Fall color was at its peak, I decided to take another canal tour. A lunch tour to lock 32. At the last minute a friend wanted to join me. I called the office, and they were able to accommodate us, but not able to get the lunch for her. We had a blast. We shared the Fairport Lunch, drank seltzer water and beer and shared the boat with a group on a surprise tour that ended on the canal tour. This trip was completely different from my previous one in the opposite direction. The experiences were different and the colors of the foliage enviable; gold, reds, oranges. The weather was perfect, partly cloudy, and then the sun broke and warmth came up and we had a sunny day Toward the end of the ride, the wind started to pick up. Along the way there were historical facts given by the crew. And we sang the famous "Low Bridge" song I was very happy, and my friend was also impressed with the trip. I highly recommend this tour.
