Niagara Falls State Park is a Four-season magical world surrounding Niagara Falls and includes gardens, hiking trails and stunning views
he oldest park in America provides a four-seasons opportunity to get the most out of your quest to see and experience “The Falls.”
Established in 1885, the park is situated on 400 acres of lush terrain with its protected wildlife, renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (who also designed New York City’s Central Park) has created a magical world that surrounds Niagara Falls which includes gardens, more than 15 miles of challenging hiking trails and stunning views at every turn no matter what the season - even winter!
