Tonawanda Bike Path

· 🌡️ 54°F

I went rollerblading on the Tonawanda bike path this morning. It was really nice. I've only been on it twice; the other time was last year on bike. It was a lot of fun but windy.

I was amazed at the number of people fishing. Grossed out was more like it. They were fishing 100 yards from some rusting industrial waste processing system. I bet they eat the fish too.

    where's the tonowanda bike path? I was so excited to go on the paths around here then I did it and was like 'ok, that was 2 miles. Now what?'

    I will never visit that health forsaken wasteland again. Tonawanda be gone. I spent way too much time there in my formative years.

    easy on tonawanda...it's ok...

    anyway that path actually begins somewhere in the Erie Basin Marina, follows the niagara river, and cuts all the way down to the tonawanda/ north tonawanda border, which is a short distance from a path that follows a quite a few beautiful miles of the erie canal.

    there is also another path in canada that starts in Fort Erie then splits into a path to Toronto or Niagara on the Lake. This ones nice....

    There are paths that follow the old train tracks deep into the niagara falls gorge as well as paths that stay on top. I think this one starts under the north grand island bridge in LaSalle and goes into Lewiston then Fort Niagara along the "bob."

    Amherst is also biker friendly with paths that go to Rochester and beyond. My buddy rides his bike back and forth to Darien Lake (round trip 65 miles) along these paths and some roads.
