🏞️ "Sehgahunda" is the Seneca (Onöndowa’ga:’) name for the stunning canyon alongside the trail, translating to “Vale of Three Falls.” The valley was once home to several Seneca villages. Come visit and experience this scenic, challenging trail for yourself! 🌲

[USACE Buffalo @USACE_Buffalo]

🏃‍♂️ Huge congrats to everyone who conquered the Sehgahunda Trail Marathon & Relay! Hundreds tackled 26.3 miles of brutal, beautiful terrain—over 100 gullies and up to 4,000 ft of climbing through Letchworth State Park and Mount Morris Dam. What a feat! 🏅

Ready. Set. Suit up.
Employees at USACE marked #WearYourLifeJacketToWorkDay with a friendly Mustang suit race.
Different jobs & conditions call for different life jackets & PFDs, but the message stays the same: when you’re on or near the water, wear it. It could save your life.
