Thanks for the info and the PM Ranger63.
I think that I will just pick up the canal trail at Lockport. I was hoping that there was a trail system on the US side of the river simular to the trail on the Canadian side. I would of thought that the Erie Canal trail would of gone right to the Niagara River.
Your suggestion to take Upper Mountain Road is a very good idea. I had read somewhere on the web about someone having taken it. I see it goes right to the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge which I will pass on to Canadian side on my way to Niagara Falls.
I have heard that you can not cross the Queenston-Lewiston Bridge on a bicycle and their web site says it does not allow predestrian traffic. Too bad, it would be a easy place to cross. I still want to go to the falls so I will just have to find a way to Upper Middle Road from the Rainbow Bridge.
I have been to Lockport 2-3 years ago and remember the cobble stones and the steep incline at the locks.
Thanks and happy touring!
