RIVER RAPIDS. STUNNING CLIFFS.<\/strong> Unique geological features. And forests, streams, and meadows. Western New York offers a wide variety of hiking opportunities for those looking to get outside and enjoy some fresh air.<\/p>\n<p>Here are 15 unique hikes to take within an hour&#8217;s drive of downtown Buffalo:<\/p>\n<p>Eternal Flame at Chestnut Ridge<\/p>\n<p>Chestnut Ridge Road, Orchard Park<\/p>\n<p>Chestnut Ridge County Park not only retains charming hiking trails, but also a hidden gem \u2013 the Eternal Flame. The natural gas leak, nestled within a trickling creek waterfall earned it a spot on the \u201c15 Jaw-Dropping Places Worth Visiting\u201d list on Mentalfloss.com. The flame is reachable via a trek up a ravine.<\/p>\n<p>Akron Falls County Park<\/p>\n<p>44 Parkview Dr., Akron<\/p>\n<p>The moderate trek directs hikers along rushing Murder Creek to the lower falls viewing area \u2013 a breathtaking scene of gentle cascades tumbling over natural limestone formations. Picnic and play areas are available for families looking to relax in the sun as well.<\/p>\n<p>Knox Farm State Park<\/p>\n<p>437 Buffalo Rd., East Aurora<\/p>\n<p>More than 600 acres of rolling meadows and forested trails await visitors just outside the village of East Aurora. The former estate of the Knox family offers a bucolic landscape and myriad of hiking opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Tifft Nature Preserve<\/p>\n<p>1200 Fuhrmann Blvd., Buffalo<\/p>\n<p>Families, birdwatchers, and hikers alike would enjoy a quick getaway to the 264-acre Tifft Nature Preserve. Formerly a landfill, the now-rehabilitated land invites visitors to observe native wildlife just minutes from downtown. The preserve \u2013 composed of wetlands and expansive forests \u2013 features hiking trails, boardwalks, and even a glimpse of Buffalo\u2019s industrial heritage.<\/p>\n<p>Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve<\/p>\n<p>93 Honorine Dr., Cheektowaga<\/p>\n<p>The family-friendly Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve offers well-kempt trails, allowing visitors to explore the diverse flora and native wildlife. Guests can loop around a peaceful pond speckled with magenta lilies or follow the Beech Tree Trail to view the biggest American beech tree in the state. The park even offers entertainment for children in the form of both an environmental education center and a nature play area.<\/p>\n<p>Niagara Gorge<\/p>\n<p>3180 DeVeaux Woods Drive, Niagara Falls<\/p>\n<p>The Niagara Gorge at Whirlpool State Park trails will suit both scenic strollers and challenge-driven climbers. The Rim Trail, at the top of the gorge, provides a picturesque overlook of the river. Those pursuing a more adventurous hike may wish to descend the steps to the gorge to view the rapids via the moderate Devil\u2019s Hole or the difficult Whirlpool Rapids Trail. As repairs were conducted this summer, check with the NYS Parks department for staircase accessibility here.<\/p>\n<p>Zoar Valley<\/p>\n<p>Forty Road entrance<\/p>\n<p>\u201cZoar is a breathtaking spectacle of the kind you would expect to find in the wilds of the West,\u201d according to blogger Ed Healy. \u201cIt\u2019s one of the natural wonders of New York State, with old growth forests, dramatic vistas and heart-pounding recreation opportunities.\u201d The cliffs and gorges of Zoar can be found outside the village of Gowanda.<\/p>\n<p>Beaver Meadow<\/p>\n<p>1610 Welch Rd., North Java<\/p>\n<p>Just 45 minutes from downtown Buffalo, Beaver Meadow is crisscrossed with a series of well-marked trails, ranging from easy to moderate levels of exertion, making it perfect for hikes with children. Pick up a map at the parking lot and head across the road to the aptly named Rusty Stove Trail. Here you\u2019ll find \u2013 wait for it \u2013 a rusty stove in pieces on the ground \u2014 a remnant, no doubt, of a long-ago farm that stood in these woods. Stop by the Interpretive Center on your way out to learn a little about the flora and fauna that flourish here.<\/p>\n<p>Buckhorn Island State Park<\/p>\n<p>E. River Rd., Grand Island<\/p>\n<p>This hike skirts both the Niagara River and the marshy expanse that comprises most of Buckhorn. The 4.1 out-and-back trail takes you under the Grand Island bridges that carry I-190 north, but hike a little further and you\u2019ll find yourself away from the hum of traffic at the tip of the Buckhorn Peninsula. You\u2019ll be right in the middle of the Niagara River as it rushes to the brink of the Falls and plummets downward, creating a plume of mist hundreds of feet high.<\/p>\n<p>Deer Lick Conservation Area<\/p>\n<p>Point Peter Rd., Gowanda<\/p>\n<p>Part of the Zoar Valley conservation landscape, Deer Lick is a relatively easy 3.1-mile hike that wanders through towering old growth trees and gently flowing streams, culminating in a spectacular view of the valley far below. Established by the Nature Conservancy, the trail is well-marked and well-maintained. As with all hikes in and around Zoar Valley, be extra cautious as you near the edge of the cliffs.<\/p>\n<p>18-Mile Creek<\/p>\n<p>South Creek Rd., Hamburg<\/p>\n<p>This four-mile out-and-back hike in the town of Hamburg was described by Visit Buffalo Niagara blogger Eileen Healy as \u201ca place that was worthy of comparison to some of the most impressive natural places we had visited in the past \u2013 a deep gorge with a fast-flowing stream seen through a curtain of new green growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Griffis Sculpture Park<\/p>\n<p>6902 Mill Valley Rd., East Otto<\/p>\n<p>The rolling hills south of Springville provide the perfect setting for the sculpture of Larry Griffis, Jr. and friends.
