Travel to New York to visit the beautiful Cattaraugus County in the Enchanted Mountains.

Travel to New York and take a leisurely cruise along New York’s Amish Trail, where you can purchase handmade products made by talented craftsmen in the Enchanted Mountains.  You can download GPS Points of Interest from our website containing the addresses of Amish shops, tourism businesses and trails throughout the County.

INVESTIGATE THE OUTDOORS FOR FUN:

Summer is for family activity and fun, filled with busy, long days and warm long nights!  Bring your family and investigate our outdoors!

Stretch those muscles at one of the various nature centers throughout our County. Visit Allegany State Park with its many miles of paved multi-use trails as well as horseback riding and mountain bike trails. Allegheny River Valley Trail offers 5.6 miles of paved multi-use trails in the Olean and Allegany area. Enjoy a warm, sunny summer’s day hike at Pfeiffer Nature Center in Portville, Rock City Park in Olean, Little Rock City State Park in Little Valley, Nannen Arboretum in Ellicottville or Griffis Sculpture Park in Ashford.

If you like boating, you will love the Allegheny Reservoir’s uncommercialized shorelines with a peaceful, quiet setting.  Reserve your spot at the Onoville Marina where you can camp by the water or in the shady areas.

Even more fun can be enjoyed searching our Enchanted Mountains Geo Trail, find our caches (there is a total of 32 in every part of the county) and you get a wooden nickel for each one you find.  Find all 32 caches and you will receive a commemorative Enchanted Mountains Geo-Coin!
