GASPORT AS A SNOWSHOEING DESTINATION

The travel section in today's Buffalo News looks at snowshoeing in WNY and among the places to visit, Gasport ranks right up there.

The article says...

Christine Baer from Paths, Peaks and Paddles has some favorite places to snowshoe. “Our absolute favorite places to snowshoe are Royalton Ravine, Erie County Forest, Wilson Tuscarora State Park, Bond Lake and the Amherst Nature Trail.”

Baer added that the Royalton Ravine (in Gasport in Niagara County, just east of Lockport) is a great place to learn how to snowshoe.

“You can learn how to ascend and descend hillsides, and there is a great suspension bridge to cross and wonderful pines to explore,” she said. “It’s very peaceful and picturesque.”
