Great Baehre Swamp is a New York state wetland located inside the Town of Amherst in Erie County, New York, USA. The conservation area is characterized as a Silver Maple-Ash swamp of 270 acres (1.1 km2).
Margaret Louise Park provides boardwalks and trails for viewing nature within Amherst, which is a fairly well-developed suburb of Buffalo. Secondarily, it is hoped that the wetlands help control flooding.
This park has been adapted to provide assistance to people with disabilities.
