Amherst State Park is a picturesque park located in Erie County, New York, offering a serene escape from the bustling city of Buffalo. With its beautiful nature trails, including the scenic Ellicott Creek, wooded areas, meadows, and old orchards, the park provides a perfect setting for picnicking, bird watching, fishing, and leisurely walks. Visitors can also explore the historic St. Mary of the Angels Mother House, built in Gothic Revival style, which overlooks the park.
