The biggest attraction in Akron Falls County Park are the Lower Falls, and for a great reason. However, the creek the falls are on deserves its own attention. Here, it's swelling with water from significant spring rain running strong and flooding areas normally dry. The moss-covered rocks complemented the fresh spring foliage turning the whole scene green, with water rushing by.

Akron Falls is part of the Erie County Park System located along Murder Creek in the town of Akron, not far from Buffalo, NY. It actually offers two natural waterfalls, Upper & Lower Akron Falls. Upper Akron Falls is generally inaccessible. The Lower Akron Falls, about 40 feet in height at the upper shelf, can be viewed either by following the dirt trail along the creek and later up into the woods and a viewing area, or by branching off the trail where it starts heading up and following the creek to the Falls. Here, conditions vary significantly with season and weather. In Spring after snow melts the waterfall is rather strong at both its lower portion and also the top. In summer, it can be reduced to trickles and the whole upper portion dries up entirely.
