Akron, NY

united states

Akron is a small city of about 2,900 people located 30 miles northeast of Buffalo in Erie County's farm country. Most visitors arrive via Route 5 from Buffalo or Route 33 from Rochester, with I-90 providing the main highway access through nearby exits. The town sits in rolling agricultural land that gets heavy lake-effect snow in winter, and Murder Creek creates a dramatic 50-foot waterfall right through downtown at Akron Falls Park.
