Niagara Falls State Park near Buffalo is the oldest state park in the country. Opened in 1885, it’s famous for its main attraction, the world-famous Niagara Falls. This awesome attraction overflows with more than 700,000 gallons of water per second.
Here you can also see a trio of thunderous falls: the Bridal Veil Falls, American Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. The popular Maid of the Mist tour offers exceptional views. You can also visit Goat Island, Terrapin Point, and the Cave of the Winds.
Situated east of Rochester in Wolcott on the southern shores of Lake Ontario, this park is best known for its beachfront setting and unique topography. It features rugged rock formations and 150-foot-high spires are the result of severe weather conditions and ages-old glaciers. While erosion brought forth the stunning surrounding landscape, it also destabilized the popular Bluff Trail.
Today you can once again hike to the top of the bluffs and enjoy the memorable views. After your hike, cool off in Lake Ontario.
