This small waterfall in Chestnut Ridge Park near Buffalo, New York draws visitors with its unique and enchanting features.
If you look closely, it’s not just any waterfall, behind the cascading water, you’ll find a grotto lit by a perpetually burning orange flame.
The flame is fueled by natural gas seeping through the rocks creating an awe-inspiring juxtaposition of fire and water.
This extraordinary phenomenon has earned the waterfall its name, the "Eternal Flame."
You can see the flame all year around but the best time to visit is autumn, when the leaves are golden and rain less likely.
