Chautauqua County, the Enchanted Mountains (Cattaraugus County) and the Western NY Wilds (Allegany County) comprise the Chautauqua-Allegheny Tourism Region, which is located in South Western New York State.
Allegany County is known for where nature and art meet, the Wellsville Balloon Rally, the Genesee River, ATV parks and the Bare Knuckle Boxing Museum.
As autumn breezes in and the leaves begin to paint the landscape in hues of gold and crimson, there's one destination that captures the essence of the season like no other: Pumpkinville.
Allegany State Park has many beautiful trails that you can hike, bike, cross-country ski, rollerblade, ride horseback, mountain bike, snowmobile and more. Most of the trails are used throughout the entire year such as the groomed snowmobile trails that double as horseback riding trails in the summer.
Many people are surprised to hear of the natural wonders that can be found less than an hour south of the great Niagara Falls in the quiet, rural Cattaraugus County. Rock cities, ancient glacial valleys, vertical-cliffed gorges, and continental divides are just a few of the sights one may see on a day trip through the area.
