You shouldn't have any problem crossing at Niagara, especially if you're paddling. It's been done before. You might prefer a barrel, and definitely should scout that last drop. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u3-J_osprTw

Incredible......some idiot rode a jet ski over horshoe? Wow....I bet that hurt...
Nodrama,
Some of the cross border shoppers here in Canada plan on staying overnight in the states to take advantage of tax and duty breaks of some kind. I'm driving down to Lewiston to pick up some machinery parts and might do that once I know just what those are and if I can find a nice park somewhere to camp in this spring.
Still need to find out what the advantage is and whether it's worth venturing into Lackawanna, Tonawanda and Cheektowaga to see how Buffalonians shop and maybe pick up some bargains. Also visit the Rick James memorial and see the Falls from the USian side.

I can't fathom shopping in Buffalo except for a Colden Canoe..

Ya just gotta know where to shop! And those of us that live in the Colden area are not Buffalonians.

If you decide to camp a night or two and don't mind driving 32 miles south of downtown Buffalo, there is a peaceful county run park less than a mile from my house.
If you want something primitive, just woods, I'll see if my son will fix you up at the farm (the term farm is misleading 150+ acres, over half treed). No electric, no hot showers or running water, just an outhouse that can be as close as 150' or as far as 1/2 mile There is also a pond so if you want to paddle in circles, I'll make sure there is a canoe available.

It's very nice of you to make the offer for an overnight campsite, GP... I just may be there this spring. I checked out the info on the tax and duty breaks and it seems a 48-hour stay is necessary to get an $800 exemption on certain goods whatever those might be. That's two nights so more cross border time than planned on earlier.
If you buy something made in the US Canada or Mexico ( NAFTA) there is no limit on how much or little you spend in order to avoid duty
Tax break.. nope.

Kim,
This info from the link you posted...
The tax savings from their calculator, on $500 spent on power equipment will be $65, so not a lot of moolah, still can pay for gas spent driving around being a tourist.

I was referring to NYS sales tax
This entry from the Swift Canoe blog explains and shows pictures of all the new Swift stuff for 2017:

It's interesting that the four new color blend options add only a pound of weight according to the 2017 price list (Canada, U.S.) The blends must be done somehow with gel coat, whereas the standard colored gel coat finishes are stated to add 3-5 pounds. The color blends (fades) can also be seen in this video:

From what I saw on the news over the weekend there is more bad news as far as import taxes. It won't effect Swift, but Mexican canoes may have a 20% tax soon.
I am typically not a fan of two color canoes but I like what Swift has going on with there new color scemes.

Yes, there's always that potential crisis looming, a canoe trade war.
But the real crisis is with Mexican beer escalating in price until it's out of reach... adios Corona. Canadian beer becomes more affordable, slippery slope leading to all kinds of trouble.
I hope there is domestic tequila.. Margaritas are already expensive..
But its BEER all the world over.
