Inside the park, you’ll find three easy to navigate hiking trails that will all lead you to scenic destinations but it’s the roughly mile-long Gorge Trail that will truly leave you in awe.

Buffalonians who have the pleasure of hiking along the Gorge Trail will pass by a series of spring-fed waterfalls that all range in size.

While all of the trails within the park are well-marked and easy to navigate, you’ll definitely want to come equipped with a sturdy pair of shoes, as some bring you up and over stone staircases and rocky terrain.
