Join us for a scenic afternoon journey along the historic Erie Canal from Clyde to Lyons.

We’ll travel approximately 12 miles of the Erie Canal, enjoying the scenery, history, and communities along the waterway. Throughout the trip, our crew will share information and stories about the history of the Erie Canal, the communities along the route, and interesting sights we encounter along the way.

After arriving in Lyons, your canal tour continues with a visit to the Peppermint Museum. Admission to the museum is included with your $40 ticket. The museum is located a short walk from the boat landing, so guests should be prepared for a brief walk to and from the museum.

The museum offers a look into Lyons' history and its connection to the peppermint industry that once made the area an important producer of peppermint oil. The museum tour takes approximately 30 minutes.
