About
Knox Farm State Park is a 633-acre state park in East Aurora, New York. It is a place for an unhurried day outdoors, with rolling meadows and woodlands spread across its grounds.
What to expect
- Open meadows that roll across much of the park, good for a slow walk or a picnic.
- Woodlands that offer shade and a change of scenery from the open fields.
- Historic farm buildings that once belonged to the Knox family estate, a reminder of the land's past as a working property.
The visit
Because the park combines open fields, wooded paths and old farm buildings, it suits visitors who enjoy being outside without a fixed agenda. The historic buildings give the walk a sense of place, linking the landscape to the family who once held it. It works well as a half-day or full-day outing, whether you come alone, with family, or with a dog on a leash.
