It's spring in the Enchanted Mountains, which means... our days get longer, flowers are blooming, and the warmer weather allows us to spend more time enjoying the outdoors! Here's a list of ways you can be active and enjoy spring in the Enchanted Mountains.
January is a great time to get things done. In 2015, National Just Do It Day was created to encourage people to take action and finally do the things they have always wanted to do. It’s a day to work on goals, dreams and procrastinated projects. Maybe the goal is to ride a bike for one thousand days, send a message to a friend, re-pot overgrown plants, learn to play a harmonica or recycle all the cardboard boxes from the holidays.
Hike along one of the 18 trails at Allegany State Park. 3 trails are self-guided nature trails and if you want an easy stroll, there's 3.1 miles of paved trail around Red House Lake.
Go back in time and watch a movie on one of the large screens outside. Grab your lawn chairs, blankets, and your favorite snacks at the concession stands available on-site. The Enchanted Mountains offers two drive-ins, Delevan Twin Drive-In Theater and Portville Drive-In.
Join Next Level Mountain Biking for the first "bike" of the year!
Meet at Camp Allegany at 11am on January 1st, 2026. The pace and length of the ride will be moderate or determined by the riders. Participants may split into two different groups so that no one gets left behind.
Fat Tire bikes are advised, given the conditions of the trails that may be present.
