We recently shared with you an exhilarating jet boat tour along the Niagara River, but if the idea of soaring through intense rapids sounds like a little too much of an adrenaline right for you, we have the perfect alternative. This easygoing adventure is only 20 minutes not of Buffalo and offers an amazing view of the river that you can appreciate without getting splashed. Check out this magnificent overlook:
It just takes a quick drive north of the Queen City to reach a natural wonder unlike any other at Whirlpool State Park.
This area is easy to explore, thanks to businesses like the Discover Niagara Shuttle. Visitors can hop on and off the shutter or park in the state park’s lot for free.
The beautiful hiking trails and scenic areas make this an amazing place relax when it’s warm outside. With 109 acres to explore, this hidden gem in Niagara County is full of adventure.
Don’t be surprised if you spot some wildlife where you’re here - there are more than 20 different species of birds that call this place home and are commonly seen along the riverfront.
If it has been a while since you’ve visited this stunning state park - or if you have yet to visit - it’s time to start planning a trip and surround yourself in the natural beauty of Western New York!
