As residents who live in a city that's situated right along the shores of one of America's Great Lakes, Buffalonians are all too familiar with stumbling upon scenic spaces. As much as we love to explore along Buffalo's beautiful waterfront, every now and then it's nice to change up your surroundings by exploring a different kind of scenery. If you're ready to take an adventure to a park that Western New Yorkers have been checking out since 1885, then it's time to start planning your road trip to Panama Rocks Scenic Park!

Only 70 miles south of Buffalo, Panama Rocks Scenic Park will make you feel as though you've been transported out of this world.

Made up of 15-acres of Paleozoic ocean floor, Panama Rocks Scenic Park is considered to be New York's best rock park and it's only a quick drive from Buffalo.

Operating between the months of May and October each year, a 1-mile-long hiking trail will lead you right through the park.

Incredible for all ages to explore, you'll feel like a true adventurer as you find yourself hiking over massive tree roots and rocks...

...and making your way through crevices that will put your claustrophobia to the ultimate test!

One of the most unique hiking adventures that you can experience here in Western New York, throughout your time here at Panama Rock Scenic Park you'll find yourself in the middle of towering rocks and formations that date all the way back to 400-million years ago.
