Hiking
Buffalo Lighthouse was built quickly, in only 221 days. Next to this lighthouse there is a stone breakwater built to protect the city’s harbor. Lighthouse history in Western New York goes back to colonial days when the French had temporary beacons around for Fort Niagara.

Running
The Buffalo Main Lighthouse was constructed back in the days of Fort Niagara. It makes for a great turnaround spot during a run, but the path leading to the lighthouse can get pretty busy in the middle of the day. You can also run around the Times Beach Nature Preserve, which is super close by.
