Allegany State Park

With over 65,000 acres, Allegany State Park is the largest state park in New York State and is open year 'round with a multitude of outdoor activities for every season and every taste.

The park offers 18 hiking trails, 3 of which have been developed as self-guided nature trails. Or bike along the 5.6 miles of paved trails which includes 3.1 miles around Red House Lake.  You don't have to haul your mountain bike with you as they're available to rent so that you can enjoy the 20+ miles of mountain bike trails.

If you want to spend time on the water, you'll find rowboats, paddleboats, paddleboards, canoes and kayaks available for rent.  And of course, there are two sandy beaches where you can soak up the sun after a swim.  Plan to fish?? Bait and other fishing supplies are available in the Retail Shop as well as ice, ice cream and cold beverages.

One of the most spectacular places to see Autumn at its best is Allegany State Park(official). Drive, hike, bike or horseback ride through the park on its many roads or trails. You will be delighted you made the trip!
