Recreation & Entertainment Artpark hosts a series of popular outdoor concerts every summer that attracts visitors from throughout the region. Artpark also offers theater, art, camps for kids, hiking trails, picnic areas and fishing docks. Lewiston has two other state parks within its borders – Devil’s Hole State Park and Reservoir State Park – as well as Bonds Lake County Park. Suffice it to say, there’s plenty of room for outdoor activities here. You’re also just minutes from Niagara Falls, which is home to the enormously popular Seneca Niagara Casino, the Niagara Falls State Park, a daredevil museum and many other attractions. Just north, in Porter, is Old Fort Niagara. Of course, you’re also close to Canada (a border crossing is in Lewiston; remember to bring documentation like a passport or an enhanced New York State driver’s license). On the Canadian side is the tourist mecca of Niagara Falls, Canada, a smorgasbord of things to do and see and places to eat and shop. (The Canadian side is much more vibrant than its American counterpart). Simply put, the falls are spectacular. You can get a close-up look on the Maid of the Mist boat ride or at the Cave of the Winds. The Canadian side has casinos, too, as well as the quaint Niagara on the Lake area. |
