On the north tip of Grand Island. Buckhorn offers short walking and hiking trails, spots for fishing and kayaking.
Grand Island's beaches and lovely waterfront views made it a popular summer resort community for Buffalonians of the 19th century, and visitors to Beaver Island State Park, a 950-acre (380-ha) expanse of greenery at the southern tip of the island which was founded on the site of several old summer estates, will quickly see why. In addition to the main attraction—a wonderful beach that is one of Western New York's most popular during the summer months—Beaver Island State Park boasts an 18-hole championship golf course as well as facilities for other sports such as disc golf, baseball, and horseshoes. Other activities enjoyed by visitors to the park include fishing, boating (the park boasts several boat launches), swimming, and walking and biking along the trails that crisscross the woods. River Lea, an old wooden farmhouse built about 1850 by Lewis Allen which has been restored as the home of the Grand Island Historical Society, is also located on the grounds of the park.
