Confirmed from Canawaugus Park'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 with a creek for fishing, swimming and bridge-jumping.

We went to this place on a whim. We wanted to get out of the city (buffalo) and go to some natural water hole that would be fun and safe for young and big kids alike.
Love the park and greenway . Did some fishing .ended up going back with my wife she loves the park also. We followed the creek to the river and fished that also .
Great park to picnic, walk, enjoy the water or to hop on the trail. Fishing is a thing here too. :)
Beautiful creek side park. With seating Greenway trail for biking, ground stone path but tree covered trail thru farmland, and ild canal and railway trail. Level east biking.
