Power Authority to Reopen Niagara Fishing Pier Contact: March 27, 2008 LEWISTON—The popular fishing pier at the base of the New York Power Authority's Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant—the main generating facility at the Niagara Power Project—will reopen for the start of the trout season on April 1, barring extreme winter weather. The pier was closed as usual for the winter. The pier, open daily from dawn to dusk, is admission-free. Parking is available at the top of the hill next to the roadway that provides access to the pier.
