New York Power Authority Fishing Piers to Close for the Season 

 LEWISTON — NYPA fishing facilities including the fishing pier, shoreline stairway and lower parking area at the base of the New York Power Authority's Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant will close for the season, at dusk, Sunday, December 1.  The fishing pier near the Upper Mountain Fire Company at the Lewiston Reservoir, at the Water Intakes along the upper Niagara River, will also close for the season. 

For the remainder of the season, the facilities will also close for safety reasons in freezing temperatures or snow conditions. 

The fishing facilities will re-open in the spring when snow and ice have sufficiently cleared.  The fishing cleaning station will re-open once the threat of freezing temperatures has passed.

For information on the fishing pier, call 716-286-6662 for a recorded message.
