Erie Basin Marina Observation Deck

Great view. Observation tower. Dirty steps. Restrooms are closed. Free enter and parking.

Lake Erie in Buffalo is a peaceful and scenic spot that gives you the perfect escape from the city buzz. The waterfront is clean, breezy, and great for a relaxing walk, bike ride, or just sitting by the lake and watching the waves. Beautiful views especially during sunset – the colors on the water are magical! There are spots nearby for snacks, drinks, and outdoor seating, and it’s very family-friendly. Whether you’re visiting or a local, it’s definitely worth spending a few hours here to unwind. Checkout my detail vlog - Wanderlust Swapnil on YouTube

Could use a little clean up, but the climb offers nice views of the city and the lake.

Beautiful view once you get to the top. If you're not used to climbing stairs do not attempt, or walk slowly taking breaks on landings. It's approximately 75 feet to the top. I was at Walk MS and we decided to go up. I definitely overexerted, I haven't been the same since 😂 It's Fun but just be in good shape to do it!

Nice height to see everything and not at all crowded. Unfortunately a little dirty, and the ground level store has been closed for a while and no signs of reopening.
