Zoar Valley is 2,297 acres of beautiful and dangerous canyon river valley for fishing, hiking, rafting, canoeing and kayaking. Zoar Valley and the Cattaraugus Creek act as the natural northern border of the Enchanted Mountains between Erie County and Cattaraugus County.

Note: Some areas of Zoar Valley are very dangerous due to very steep walls and unstable rocky terrain.

Hiking

Stay on the hiking trails for your own safety. There are rocky overhangs and trees that appear stable on the edge of cliffs but steer clear as most of the underlying rock is unstable.

Rafting, Canoeing and Kayaking

Some sections of the Cattaraugus Creek have Class III rapids!

Please note that some areas of Zoar Valley are private property and are restricted (see the advisory on Zoar Valley Nature Society)
