Sweet Times at the Relaxing View of the Buffalo River in New York

Aside from the educational part  that you will learn from the Naval and Military Park , it also possesses the beautiful scenery as it is located  by the  Buffalo river.  If I live in this area, I would probably go on a walk or run  everyday just to be able to  enjoy the view.  New Yorkers  that lives in this area are so lucky.
Rivers like the Buffalo River plays an  important role in the  development of  an area like western New York.  I know that the Ohio river  is a huge part of the success of the steel mills here around West Virginia and Ohio.  According to the information I read online,  when the shipping began to bypass the Erie Canal in the 1950s, and later with the decline of heavy industry in the region, the transportation and industrial use of the river greatly declined and many adjacent factories and grain mills were abandoned.   However, they  began to  focus more on  cleaning the quality of water for the  natural habitat and the restoration projects like the Commercial Slip adjacent to the naval park.

I am so glad that we decided to explore this part of New York before coming back here at the mountainous region.  Although we have the Ohio river near us, we don't have a beautiful park such as this one.  I always tell my husband that if given a chance, I would love to  buy a boat just so we can travel via  river and enjoy mother nature's beauty through another view.

Hubby said it is fun traveling by boat.  His late brother had a boat and would invite him to come with him when he was young.  I grew up in a coastal area and riding a boat is something I miss.  It's beautiful to look at the beauty of the land when you are traveling by boat.

  2. We have the mighty Mississippi River that is just a few miles away to visit all the time. Very relaxing just standing and watching the river flow by.

  15. I'm glad that they've invested in cleaning up the water for the wildlife. I live near the canal and there was an old flour mill on it. It has since been torn down and a hotel is there now. It is a beautiful place to walk.

  17. I enjoy being near water. I absolutely love that you took the time to help clean the water. Its so important. We have to take care of our natural resources because they benefit ourselves and the animals.
