A jogger heads east on the Ellicott Creek Trailway in Amherst, New York on a gloomy April 2023 afternoon. Opened to cyclists and pedestrians in 1988, the 4.4-mile original portion of this trail extends in a southeasterly direction roughly parallel to Ellicott Creek (hence its name) from just over the town line at Ellicott Creek Park in Tonawanda, through the Audubon Industrial Park and the sprawling North Campus of the University at Buffalo, and finally ending at Ellicott Creek Park in nearby Tonawanda.  A southwestward extension of the path, leading to the Audubon Recreation Complex on Amherst Manor Road, added 2.2 miles to the total length when it opened in May 2000. This photo was taken near the junction of those two branches.
