Buffalo Trace Park

Buffalo Trace Park is a protected area near Palmyra covering more than 140 acres with a large lake at its center. The grounds feature camping sites, fishing access, a public beach, and recreational facilities including disc golf and tennis courts.

The grounds preserve sections of the Buffalo Trace, a wide trail created by large bison herds centuries ago. Later, settlers developed this path into one of the region's first organized transportation routes.

The park serves as a gathering spot where locals spend time with family and enjoy outdoor activities together. Its sports facilities and play areas show how much this space matters to everyday community life.

The park grounds are easy to walk through and feature clear trail markings that guide you through different zones. Most visitor areas are accessible or present minimal obstacles for getting around.

The place shows how some natural pathways were created by animals and later became important routes for people. This hidden connection between animal movement and human settlement often goes unnoticed when walking the old trails.
