Buckhorn Island State Park, Nature preserve in Grand Island, New York.
The 895-acre park features extensive marshlands, meadows, and woods along the Niagara River, providing diverse habitats for local wildlife species.
The land represents the final portion of the original marshlands that extended throughout the Niagara River region before regional development altered the landscape.
The park functions as a Bird Conservation Area, supporting substantial populations of gulls, waterfowl, and protected species like Least Bittern and Northern Harrier.
Visitors can engage in activities such as hiking, fishing, cross-country skiing, and bird watching from dawn until dusk throughout all seasons.
The West River Shoreline Enhancement Project manages non-native plant species while improving habitat values along the West River Shoreline Trail.
