The Eternal Flame Falls at Chestnut Ridge Park, Orchard Park, NY
One of Western New York's local natural wonders, this hike is one of the "secret places" in the book of the same title by Bruce Kershner.
The flame is a natural gas jet behind a 25-foot waterfall. We hiked up Shale Creek in the winter to find the waterfall encased in ice and the Eternal Flame extinguished. We hiked to the Eternal Flame in winter when the falls iced over the grotto. Watch how we re-lit the Eternal Flame using cottonballs and petroleum jelly.
