Recently here at Only In Buffalo, we gave our readers the heads up that the Farmers Almanac has predicted quite the intense winter for us who live out along the Great Lakes. Before our harsh winter sets in though, you’ll want to soak in every bit of fall that you possibly can. According to New York’s official foliage report, we’re right around the corner from seeing our fall colors at their peak. If you’re wondering what adventures you should enjoy before the snow arrives, then check out how this one nearby waterfall is about to be surrounded by all the colors of fall.
Only a half-hour outside of Buffalo, Akron Falls Park is one of our favorite places to visit in Erie County when we’re looking to spend some time outdoors.
