Hiking the trails of Knox Farm State Park on New Year's Day 2017, with a mix of winter and fall all around. Some snow and ice on the trail, fallen leaves full of color visible along, and fresh air throughout!

Knox Farm State Park is the former country estate of Buffalo's renowned Knox Family. It is located adjacent to the historic village of East Aurora. There is a variety of habitats, including grasslands, woodlands, ponds and wetlands.

The park offers hiking, cross-country skiing, biking (in designated areas), and horseback riding (by permit), as well as wildlife spotting.
