medina falls

Right in the middle of (or nearby) the Village of Medina (Orleans County) one can find an interesting phenomena. Old Orchard Creek flows under the Erie Canal then over Medina Falls. It is quite an unusual feeling to be walking on the towpath of a canal looking down at a waterfall. To top it off, you can drive a short ways away and drive through a tunnel under the canal (I understand it's the only road that goes under the Erie Canal). There is also a railroad museum in town and I guess there will be special Thomas the Train days there in May. We didn't stop anywhere but McDonald's on this daytrip but there appeared to be a few places to stop to eat.
