Unique,
multi
habitat,
sprawling
state
park
minutes
from
the
heart
of
East
Aurora,
originally
owned
by
the
Knox
family
of
Buffalo.
You
can
hike,
cross
country
ski,
bike
(in
designated
areas)
and
ride
horseback
(with
permit)
throughout
the
park.
Some
have
said
the
sunsets
are
magical
here
and
after
experiencing
some
I
have
to
agree.
Come
for
a
visit
and
see
for
yourself.
I
love
to
come
hiking
here
with
my
dog
and
significant
other.
Within
the
space
there
are
different
kinds
of
habitats
including
woods,
grasslands
and
ponds
which
make
me
feel
like
I
was
transported
to
a
tale
in
a
storybook.
It’s
fun
and
keeps
things
interesting
to
see
a
few
quick
scenery
changes
on
a
hike
that
is
often
less
than
3
miles.
The
paths
are
clearly
marked
and
there
are
easy
to
follow
maps
onsite.
The
main
path
is
the
outer
loop
with
various
trails
that
cut
across
so
you
can
customize
the
length
of
your
outing.
This
is
great
place
for
hikers
who
are
just
starting
out
because
the
terrain
is
not
difficult
and
the
way
the
trails
are
designed
you
will
always
be
able
to
easily
find
your
way
back
to
the
main
parking
lot.
One
of
my
favorite
parts
of
the
park
is
the
library
hidden
in
the
woods.
This
consists
of
some
benches
in
the
shade
and
a
book
closet
where
visitors
can
borrow
something
to
read
or
leave
a
book
to
share.
It’s
also
fun
to
people
watch
here.
Grab
a
coffee
before
you
come
and
watch
people
in
the
multi
use
space.
There
is
an
expansive
dog
park
broken
down
into
two
sections
for
large
and
small
dogs.
Facilities
on
location
for
weddings,
conventions,
and
special
events
which
include
seasonal
craft
shows,
and
annual
events
including
Bark
Bash
and
Borderlands
Art
and
Music
Festival.
You
can
also
check
out
the
historic
barns
which
are
currently
being
restored.
The
barns
are
home
to
some
farm
animals
who
reside
on
the
property.
There
is
an
organization
set
up,
Friends
of
Knox
Farm,
which
allows
the
community
to
get
involved
and
donate
funds
or
their
time
to
help
maintain
the
park.
It’s
cool
to
see
members
of
the
community
taking
pride
in
caring
for
such
a
special
park.
