Confirmed from Lincoln Landing's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Outdoor historical landmark along the I&M Canal with a restaurant offering hearty meals.
What runners say about Lincoln Landing
“Part of the rich history of the beautiful city of Lockport, the Lincoln Landing boasts some of the oldest known and beautiful structures in Lockport.”
Chill historic canal downtown vibe. Lots of early American industrial history throughout the area. Great restaurants and pubs. Free municipal Parking lots large enough for any size rig or RV. Full bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming. Leashed dogs are welcome along all the canal trails.
Nice place to take a walk or enjoy lunch outside in warm weather, although the parking lot by The Landing is small.
Had a wonderful outing here yesterday. We took a nice walk by the canal, then stopped and let the kids play on the green. It was beautiful, well maintained, and we learned some interesting historical info about the area while we were there.
Nice little area with an interesting design. Perfect for resting if you're either biking or walking the I&M trail that is next to it, or even a romantic place to take your partner and relax.
