UB Bike Path Parking - N Forest and Maple

It's a bike path with consistent 1/10 mile markers. A few hills and turns but still pretty fast. ~5.1 miles to Niagara Falls Blvd where you can cross the road to the park. There's a 2 mile loop as well. Possible hazards: * Geese: Seriously, I've had to hurdle several before * Snow/ice: it's not maintained during the winter and usually stays covered even well after the rest of the snow melts because of that. * Other people: the path isn't particularly wide and it can get pretty crowded at the beginning, but there's practically no one after the 1st mile.

Good jogging or bike riding path.

A well maintained local path and grounds are kept clean. Perfect for dog walking, cycling and running. The only improvement is more trash bins needed throughout for dog waste and garbage.

One of the best paved trails in Amherst. Well maintained. Great scenery. Just need more trash cans.

I usually bike this path from the other end and this parking area is my turn around point. I start in Niawanda Park in Tonawanda and follow the Niagara river, to the Erie canal, to Ellicott Creek through UB and end here at North Forest. With 3 different waterways along the trail it makes for a beautiful path. The wind seems to always be strong along certain sections so it's easy one way and hard the opposite way. A good workout. There are slight hills but nothing big. You are along the roadway for about 1 mile along the canal connecting with Ellicott Creek Park, other than that it's all on a path. It's well kept so the ride is smooth but watch out for geese who aren't happy about sharing their space. They can get territorial and snap at you as you ride by especially when they have young around. There are restrooms along the way and dining options especially near Niawanda Park. This is one of my favorite paths in the area.
