Explore Buffalo

Have you heard?! We've put together some neighborhood walking routes to enhance your daily/weekly walks.

On our website, you'll find walking routes for Elmwood Village Victorians, Hertel Avenue, & South Buffalo. These docs give you a route with stops and fun facts about where you are or what you're looking at. You can print them out or simply pull them up on your phone.

As you walk, feel free to tag us and share your experience or give yourself a digital break and just enjoy the outing!

We look forward to adding more routes on a regular basis and want to thank M&T Bank, Independent Health Foundation, Buffalo Spree magazine, and the Wellness Institute of Greater Buffalo & WNY for their support!
