The start of all of your Spring and Summer Fun is upon us! 

In 2011, an article written by Christine A. Smyczynski for the Member Connection, the magazine for AAA Members, two of the treasures of the Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County have been named in the top 10 Hidden Gems in Western New York by AAA.

Have you made plans for the Total Solar Eclipse yet? If not, you better because IT’S A BIG DEAL!

Come view this once in a lifetime opportunity in the Enchanted Mountains, away from the city lights.

This is designed as a guide to anglers in locating the higher quality stocked and un-stocked trout streams in western NY. It is not intended as a list of all the wild trout streams, nor all the streams where trout are stocked. Lists of all stocked streams are available from this office.

Grab your skis and snowboards because the slopes are calling your name!

The Enchanted Mountains is home to Holiday Valley Resort and HoliMont.

Ahhh the holidays! Whether you are looking for relaxation or excitement with the holidays we'll have some activities below.

It is sad to say good bye to another great ski season, but at Holiday Valley you’ll find fun all year long.

Streams in Western New York

Western New York has a number of streams that offer high duality lake-run steelhead fishing from November through March.

Cattaraugus Creek offers over 34 miles of steelhead angling opportunities from Lake Erie to the Springville Dam. A portion of the stream and its lower tributaries are on Seneca Nation of Indian Lands, so if you plan to fish there, you will need a license for the Reservation.

In Cattaraugus County, anglers have access to lakes that provide good angling for Trout, Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass, Panfish, and some Northern Pike.

Summer is here, and with it comes long, sunny days filled with endless possibilities. Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a nature lover, or someone who enjoys relaxing with a good book, there’s a summer activity for everyone.

Sprague's Maple Farms offers a unique blend of culinary delight and charming animal encounters that make for an unforgettable visit during Christmas time!

Every January, Holiday Valley Resort in Ellicottville, NY, hosts a special event known as Canadian Friendship Week, celebrating the strong bond between the United States and Canada.

Check out the events happening around the Enchanted Mountains in February!

You may think that the winter in the Enchanted Mountains is only for skiiers and snowboarders, but it's not! Check out the variety of events happening for you to enjoy without skis or a snowboard. 

Well, it is already Autumn in 2010 and we love the falling leaves. We've created the following routes to take you through different areas of Cattaraugus County.
