The Erie Basin was once just a breakwater and commercial slip at the mouth of the Buffalo River at Lake Erie, designed to prevent the build up of sand within the gateway to the Erie Canal and to lessen the impact of storm surges. Having gone unused as the Great Lakes manufacturing and shipping industries waned, it was rebuilt under a major construction effort in the early 1970s to help revitalize the waterfront as a place for city residents to enjoy and harbor personal watercraft. Today, it caters to tens of thousands of visitors in the hot summer months.

The Erie Basin Marina Observation Deck gives you a scenic view of where Lake Erie and the Niagara River meet. Unless it's a beautiful day or there's a special event you want to attend this is a short but great stop.
