Things to do in and around Buffalo New York

Summer is fast approaching! Do you need a place where you can become tranquil, enjoy nature, learn about nature, and be outdoors? A few weeks ago, Orchard Park, New York made the news in regards to the natural phenomenon we have right here in Orchard Park . In a region with more than its share of natural beauty...from the incredible power of Niagara Falls ... to the great splendor of Letchworth Gorge, perhaps the most fascinating is one that is not so tremendous.

When I think of summer, I think of being outside, enjoying the beautiful weather--whether boating, swimming, going on picnics or hiking. Next time you are in the mood for a picnic, hike or both, try out the beautiful grounds over at Chestnut Ridge Park . This beautiful park is the perfect place to picnic, or just hang out and enjoy the outside. Tucked deep within Chestnut Ridge Park is the Eternal Flame that is a natural phenomenon, a natural gas leak underneath a waterfall that just happens to be burning.

 

When I asked some of my family or friends about this place (Eternal Flame of Orchard Park, NY) some who live here in Western New York, some said they didn’t even know that it was there. It’s a great hike. Walk the green trail that leads back into this hidden wonder and you will soon understand why this location is popular by those who know it.

It’s a bright flame, burning under the cascade of water, that seems to embody the spirit of nature and gives the spot an almost sacred feel. It is said that the falls may be the only one of its kind on the planet and it’s right here in Orchard Park, NY.

 

Give yourself plenty of time for the hike there and back before it gets dark though, because of the tall trees and plenty of them that surround you on this beautiful hike, it will get pretty dark in here.
