Western New York Outdoors
A Parks and Recreation Guide to locations for outdoor adventures in WNY.

Great Baehre Swamp
State Wetlands in the Town of Amherst, Erie County.

Description:

The silver maple-ash swamp is a forested wetland used for viewing nature and hiking.  There is parking access, picnic areas, a boardwalk, bike paths and trails.  At the north end of the Wildlife Management Area is Margaret Louise Park.  These suburban wetlands provide excellent wildlife habitat, as well as a food source, while also providing flood and erosion control.

Directions from the I-290 Exit 5, go east on Maple Road, turn left on Hopkins Road.  The Conservation Area will be on your right after you pass Klein Road.  Further north, before Heim Road on the left side of Hopkins, is the state wetlands and the Margaret Louise Park bike path.
