Better tally of NY state park's visitors sought

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (AP) — Tourism leaders in the upstate city that’s home to the state’s most-visited park would like New York officials to come up with a method to get a more accurate count of annual attendance.

State parks officials say more than 8 million people visit Niagara Falls State Park every year. The figure is based mostly on estimates from paid attendance, parking lot usage and patron counts at a nearby visitor center.
