A beautiful little gem! Beautiful views, plenty of picnic tables, restrooms, a playground, informative signs, and two pairs of binoculars. I'm already looking forward to more picnics there! Beware of a wasp nest in the ground and the strong smell of dead fish among the rocks.

The UB Path Bridge, officially known as the Ralph Wilson Park Bridge, is a striking new pedestrian and cyclist crossing in Buffalo, New York. Spanning 266 feet over Interstate 190 and a CSX rail line, the enclosed steel arch bridge connects the Lower West Side neighborhood to the revitalized 100-acre Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Centennial Park, formerly LaSalle Park.

This little point looks out over the outlet of Tonawanda Creek, where it first merges into the Little River and then, together, the two waters merge into the Tonawanda Channel of the Niagara River. From here you have your choice of two different riverwalks: The Eerie Canalway Trail to the east, which runs upstream along Tonawanda Creek; and the Shoreline Trail which runs southwest along the Niagara River.

Anyone who cycles in and around Buffalo will eventually have a route that takes them over the Grand Island Bridges. Luckily there is a dedicated pathway for non-motorized travel. You'll also have great views along the way.

This 1.2-mile-long riverside park is popular for bikers, but that's just a tithe on the activity you can see here: People-watching opportunities include rollerblades, boaters, waterskiers, sunbathers, fisher, birdwatchers and many more.
