Buckhorn Island State Park, 895 acres of marsh, meadows and woods and the last vestige of once vast marshlands and meadows that bordered the Niagara River, is classified as a park preserve. The public is welcome to walk the nature trail, hike, fish and cross-country ski in the park. Currently, the park is undergoing restoration to re-establish wetland cover and water levels and increase the diversity of native flora and fauna. Part of the restoration plan includes increasing public access with more non-intrusive trails, overlooks, a bike path and parking facilities.
