A GOOD REASON TO GO

National Scenic Byway

The Great Lakes Seaway Trail byway parallels the St. Lawrence Seaway and Great Lakes in New York and Pennsylvania. This adventure includes Niagara Falls; 1000 Islands; 29 lighthouses; War of 1812, farm, and nature sites; welcoming harbors, world-class sportfishing, bridges/ferries to/from Canada, and the Seaway Trail Discovery Center.

The microclimate along the shore of Lake Erie allows the region to produce the most Concord grapes in the world. The area is home to numerous vineyards and the Welch's corporation.
