Confirmed from Bell Slip's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
Park featuring a trail, hammocks, and opportunities for biking and lake viewing.

Growing up in Buffalo I am so proud of our waterfront and outer harbor.The walking path and bike trails are very wide, smooth, and have beautiful views of Lake Erie and the waterfront :-)
Too cloudy for the full sunset but gorgeous view anyways. There were families, couples and a lot of kids. Biking, roller blading, walking. It's a great spot to check out!
Always a great place to take the dog. Nice scenery. Terrain isn't rough. Comfortable atmosphere.
I love that there's a spot to hang hammocks and just hang out (no pun intended). Also a great spot to walk and feel like you're miles outside of the city while in reality you're right downtown.
