GL: Western Erie Canal - place to stop

[Steve Burgis]

Marty

We stopped in Fairport in mid September last year. The Admiral chose it
based on guide book recommendations and she loved walking around the town.
There are a variety of restaurants, shops etc.

Even in mid September we were lucky to get a tie to the wall with access to
a power pillar. Some others who arrived later had to do without. It is a
popular place.

The dockmaster's office is on the south wall and the washrooms on the south
side are very nice. I don't know what facilities are on the north side.
There is a foot bridge across the canal.

There are a few photos of Fairport at
http://burgis.org/Summer_Triangle_Photos_Lyons_To_Buffalo_NY/ulthm.htm  See
pics 11 thru 16. #14 is taken from the footbridge.

We did not stop at Pittsford so can not compare them.

near Rochester 

 

Looking for recommendation as to a place to stay on the

Erie Canal for 3

or 4 nights near Rochester, preferably east near Pittsford

or Fairport.

We will be in a Krogen 42 (15' beam and 4' 7" draft)

 

We will

be staying on the boat but visiting friends and family.
