Tifft Nature Preserve - Buffalo (NY)

5 /5 Muhammad Λ.: I went for a walk at Tifft Nature Preserve and it was a truly beautiful experience. The trails were peaceful and well-maintained, surrounded by tall grasses, trees, and birdsong. It felt like a hidden escape from the city — quiet, calm, and full of nature. I even spotted some deer and a variety of birds along the way. Definitely a great spot to relax, reflect, or just enjoy a walk outdoors. Enjoy the experience there! ;)

5 /5 Karyn Mariano: Fantastic treasure on the Buffalo waterfront!! Beautiful preserve with lots of trails, a lake for fishing and so much wildlife. Take the trip and spend the day exploring. Note no dogs are allowed on trails and fishing is only in marked areas.

5 /5 Yuki A: Discovered this place by accident. We originally wanted to go to Outer harbor but saw a small pond that intrigued us. Then we realized we were on a nature preserve! It was amazing. It wasn’t crowded and it was so serene. I love the atmosphere here. What an incredible experience to have in the city of Buffalo. Would love to visit again and explore the other half we didn’t get to see. Might just come back with a picnic. Also got to see baby goslings!

5 /5 Am: This nature preserve is such a gem You can see so many different animals when you come here if youre patient enough. Ive seen tons of ducks and geese, lots of turtles (including snapping turtles!), muskrats, deer.. Ive visited on 80+ degree days, regular sunny days, and rainy days. Its so peaceful in any type of weather My favorite is the boardwalk towards the back. Thats a quick 30minute or so walk if you dont have a lot of time. You can also spend a few hours here if you walk the entire preserve Good place for the pokestops and pokegyms too

5 /5 Andrew Griesmann: Tifft has so much to offer and Ive only walked through 75% of the area at the time of this review. Being close to Gallagher Pier and Lake Erie is fantastic, especially if you want to catch a sunset. So far I havent noticed much trash in the area, which has been great to see. (Please leave no trace!) The hills are a fun walk and youll sometimes find some deer walking about. Theyve been fairly calm which makes for fun picture taking. Parking, theres a good amount of it but be mindful in the winter. Its gravel and dirt, so youll find large and deep holes. There are a lot of neat photo opportunities here, so bring your camera!
