Waterfront Ride: Outer Harbor History Bike Tour

About this activity

This tour is great for all ages and those not comfortable with city riding. Start the tour with a ride to the Buffalo Erie Basin Marina and climb a tower to a breathtaking outlook of the city. Hop back on your bike just in time to board the Queen City Bike Ferry. Once at Outer Harbor, you’ll see incredible remnants of former industry, like Bethlehem Steel, Hannah Furnace Company, and towering grain silos.

Moreover, we’ll see “old” and “new” Buffalo collide while seeing revitalization and environmental stewardship efforts. Whether a first-time visitor or you've lived here your whole life, this tour will provide a new appreciation for the city, its waterways, and its place in American history.
