Once parked, pretty easy to get down to the waterfall even the trails were covered in snow. Regular hiking boots will be sufficient. Do have to watch out for ice when you get close. Very beautiful scenery and peaceful once you reach to the waterfall

What a great park and nice walk. I can see why it's a popular park. We enjoyed it and would be back.read more

We took a morning hike here today, and it's great!…read more There's pavilions you can rent, a pond to fish in and paths to hike. The main path lies beyond a big sign to the upper right of the pond. It's not a difficult walk, but it's not flat. There's a long rickety bridge over the creek, secure enough to feel safe but bouncy enough for a small thrill. To the left of the waterfall is a small clearing and ledge for a great shot of the waterfall or you can walk down a few steps to the right and find a place to sit and rest or eat a small picnic lunch. Midway between the bridge and waterfall is the ruins of an old historic homestead. We were only there for about an hour including a ten minute break at the waterfall so it's not a long hike, but there's smaller paths here or there that veer off of the main path. Leashed pets are allowed. There were geese around the pond, but I didn't have a hard time avoiding their waste. I was sad to see a couple of beer cans on our hike, but aside from passing a handful of other people, I felt fully immersed in beauty and nature. 6/12/15 Update: Visited again on a whim today after a week of heavy rain. There's that mud everybody was talking about. Still enjoyed myself and saw lots of wildlife: garter snakes, frogs, chipmunks, squirrels and a bright yellow bird. Love this place!

The standout for me was this amazing topographic map where you move the sand and it updates the contour lines live. I wish I had that when learning maps. They also run a bunch of events... I've done a luminary walk and an owl prowl, plus there are eagle nest outings and birding stuff. The gift shop is small but nice. Overall, if you're looking for a good nature outing, this(and the other sites they manage are great. Swallow Hollow is my favorite trail, but the whole area is awesome.

I can't believe it took me this long to visit this park. The Yelp reviews and pictures just don't…read moredo it justice. It is huge. We barely scratched the surface of what's available today. There's many shelters available to rent that are spread throughout this expansive park. In that way, it reminds me of Akron Falls State Park. So many playgrounds, too. We visited a couple, but I think there were several more. Originally I planned to take my boys to play in the creek at Charles E Burchfield Nature Center, but I noticed pictures of people playing in a creek here, too, and I'm glad we came. We did have a hard time finding a clear path to the water where we first noticed people, but there's a stone staircase leading down near shelter 21 and the playground with the dinosaur slide. So many tadpoles. Later we found another place to access the creek from a nature trail. As another review mentions, the trail is narrow, but only at the beginning. It widens later on. There's a fun little bridge the boys liked crossing, and a great spot for a picnic near the creek. You'd have to bring your own folding table but it's a relatively flat area in a grove of trees. If you like the trails and creek at Charles E. Burchfield, but you need to rent a shelter, this park is perfect.

There's some paths for walking or biking that looked flat and smooth enough for blading as well. There's a big soccer field. They have a couple movie nights in the summer. There's also a small Santa's cottage that's open multiple days and times in December. Great park overall.

A small brook and a pair of picturesque walkway/bridges are the highlights of this wilderness…read moretrail. But let me emphasize the "wilderness" part of the trail name; it's not as well maintained as some hiking trails you'll find in WNY. From the start, it was clear this was a hidden secret of the area. With no parking lots at the trailhead, parking was limited to a small cleared area alongside the road. This space was only large enough for about three vehicles. Getting into the woods, the ground was uneven and rocky, and any trail markings became lost or confusing. Trails were overgrown with tall foliage, and poison ivy and poison oak encroaching and often crossing the trails. This said, however, the well-constructed benches, the bridges, and numerous signs about the local wildlife did demonstrate that this trail had at one point been lovingly built. Be prepared. Wear appropriate footwear. Mind where you step. And keep an eye on the brook so you know which trails to follow. It is not a difficult hike, but it is more rough than was expected. Mostly due to the need for maintenance on a few of the supposedly marked trails.

After having some ice cream, we went for a quick walk throughout the park. This park really is great. It is a little small but that also makes it so nice. No need for maps or worries of getting lost, it's perfect for a nice walk. My son loves looking for all the wildlife especially if there are any ducks or fish. Luckily for him, there are plenty of ducks around here. Another nice thing about this park is that it is very scenic for photography. There were a few different groups there doing what looked like senior pictures or photos before an event. Whether you're looking for a nice walk, scenic backdrop or just a quiet place to sit on a bench and think, this park has it all.

I am amazed at how restful and beautifully maintained it is. The flowers were welcoming, the small waterfall enchanting, the trails curious and winding, and the wildlife amusing. I felt more relaxed and grounded after my visit than I have in a long time. The only negative was that someone was smoking weed on a park bench and the odor instantly turned me off. I'm sure smoking is not allowed, but I was chagrined that in this little section of The Garden of Eden someone would assume to make the place smell like a stoner's living room.

I don't know why this park never showed up for me before today. Finding the park itself is easy…read more Parking is a little trickier. I didn't see any other signs, but I had a hunch about the "Dead end" road across the street. The lot at the end of the road showed up on Google Maps. About a dozen spaces, too. The path leads to a boardwalk through marshland. Then you can choose to walk beside the meadow or explore paths in the woods. Eventually, it was a little too muddy for us, but I look forward to going back during the summer. The funny thing is when you leave the park, the back of the sign indicates the parking lot. Otherwise, it's a lovely well-kept park.

A background on how this became a nature preserve; the Lytle family back in 2008 donated this 112 acres of land. It's perfect for hiking or bike riding.
