GRITTY TO PRETTY

HERE WE GO!

Once a bustling industrial center and home to our iconic grain silos, the area along the Buffalo River is undergoing a stunning revitalization, adding natural spaces and easy access to the water. It’s the Buffalo Blueway—and it’s already a favorite spot for kayakers, anglers, bikers, hikers and runners.

The area has since expanded to include more of Western New York’s waterways to become the Buffalo Niagara Blueway. This expansion continues to build upon the Blueway idea – a place where people feel connected to their waterways that leads to an economic growth, a Rust to Blue® transformation for everyone.

We’ve created online resources like interactive mapping and trip planners so you can make the most of your Blueway adventure. Over the coming years, we’ll be adding paddlesport launches, fishing piers, boat docks, waterfront observation platforms, parking and public art.

Go with the ‘Flo! Visit the Buffalo Niagara Blueway today, and check back here often for updates on our progress.
