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
