Bond's Lake offers X-country ski trails in the winter. Many of the trails have big ruts that fill with water (not conducive to x-country skiing). But when it's cold enough to freeze the water and we get enough snow for cover it's perfect. The trails wind through apple orchards, tall pines, past ravines and open fields. There are two beautiful lakes to view. Myer's lake is my favorite to ski around. Easy parking, a warming house with bathrooms and a roaring fire add to the experience. There are also 2 ice skating rinks and a giant sledding hill. They use the old down hill ski hill so it's steep and very long. The walk back up the hill is good exercise.

My only warning is too watch for rocks when the water level is low. When you near the road, it gets very shallow in a dry season. Lots of people fish here but since I haven't I can't comment on what you catch or how...
Read moreHidden gem in Niagara County. Decent fishing, great place to run, jog, walk, fish, canoe or kayak, run your dogs, picnic and just hang out on a warm summer day.
They recently cut off the back 2/3rd of the park with large boulders and rocks apparently from local morons trashing the area mudding their hoopties and atvs in the back area. The county got sick of repairing the damage and dragging out tore up junk pickups out of the weeds. The area is a bird/waterfowl preserve and the county worker i talked to told us it got really bad between the trucks and ATVs so they shut it down.
Still a...
