"For decades, Buffalo’s waterfront was used almost exclusively for industry. Today, however, it’s a major attraction for outdoor enthusiasts, with everything from parks and bike trails to fishing, boating, ice skating, and more. Get in on the fun with help from Water Bikes of Buffalo, which rents water bikes, paddleboats, and stand-up paddleboards for exploring the Buffalo River. Ride through the historic canals, past grain elevators and naval ships, then head down to the lighthouse near Lake Erie for a thrilling day on the water. In the winter, the company also offers ice bikes at the Canalside skating rink, which just happens to be three times the size of the Rink at Rockefeller Center—or the equivalent of two NHL rinks."
