Niagara Frontier Border Crossing

Noel,

Well, I've crossed a few times at both the Peace bridge and the Rainbow
bridge and have found them to be both acceptable and problem free. Although
when I crossed at the peace bridge from Canada to the US the first time, I
sat in US customs for almost 45 minutes because I didn't go through the
"right" door.

I would imagine that perhaps there is less traffic at the Queenston-Lewiston
bridge than at the others. You can pick up route 104 just off the bridge and
take that out a bit. That route will turn into more of a rural setting
sooner than if you go through Niagara Falls or Buffalo.

When you say you're heading for the Erie Canal, are you planning on riding
east towards Rochester& Albany? If you're heading towards the western
terminus you may be better off coming over the Rainbow bridge.

Good Luck!
Doug

Have been reading trip reports prior to cycling from Ontario through New
York State. Most riders seem to cross at Queenston-Lewiston. Any reason
why this seems to be more popular than the Rainbow Bridge?

We will be heading for the Erie Canal.

Thanks, Noel
