2017 Activities Guide | Cattaraugus County, the Enchanted Mountains of NY

 Road Cycling along Route 16.

Mountain Biking Allegany State Park tops the list of favorite places for a mountain bike adventure. The Art Roscoe Ski Touring Area offers some of the finest groomed cross country ski and mountain bike trails in the Northeast. Check AlleganyNordic.org Holiday Valley has a 4-5 mile “race loop” offering wider and more forgiving cross country trails or skinny winding single track. Mountain bike rentals are available at the Inn at Holiday Valley by calling (716) 699-2345, or at Ellicottville Bike Rentals at 716-364-5800.

Golden Hill State Forest offers two well marked loops that are a little off the beaten path and get a lot less use than the Ellicottville trail system. Some maps can be downloaded from our site at EMFun.us/mtb, or you can pick up the WNYMBA Ellicottville area map which is available from the Bike and Bean in Ellicottville (716) 699-2453.

Group Rides on Monday at 6PM at the Bike and Bean.

Check EllicottvilleBikeShop.com for burritos and rides.

2017 Activities Guide | Cattaraugus County, the Enchanted Mountains of NY

Kayak / Canoe / SUP Kayaking and the newer sport of stand-up paddle boarding, are among the fastest growing outdoor recreational activities on our enchanted creeks, rivers and lakes and now it’s easier for you to access the Allegheny River.

2015 brought the installation of two floating launches that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. These floating docks are safer for launching kayaks and canoes because of their ramp-like attachments with rollers that help boats glide in and out of the water. Linn Launch, off Steam Valley Road in the Town of Portville, has parking for 6 vehicles (and a port-a-pot). A similar launch has been built downstream in Allegany near the First Street Bridge. The launch area also has plenty of parking available and has access to a number of nearby restaurants, stores and businesses.

For places to put in and get out of the water, paddle events, equipment rentals or guides in the Enchanted Mountains visit EMFun.us/Paddle

Whitewater Kayaking The Zoar Valley Paddling Club can offer suggestions on navigating the local waters safely. White Water Kayaking is dangerous. Be sure to wear a helmet and lifejacket and go with a group like the Zoar Valley Paddling Club.

Check their site ZoarValleyPaddlingClub.org  Various Water Craft are available to rent at Red House Lake

Whitewater Rafting Peak rafting is when snow melts in early spring or in autumn when rains raise the water level. Spots on the Cattaraugus Creek offer up to Class III & IV whitewater.

The following three companies offer guided raft runs on the Creek and can mold a journey to suit your skill level: Adventure Calls Outfitters, Inc. 585-343-4710 or 888-270-2410 | Adventure-Calls.com Catt Rafting Adventures 716-866-1461 | FB.com/Catt-Rafting-Adventures Zoar Valley Canoe & Rafting 800-724-0696 | ZoarValleyRafting.com

Another great place to launch your boat into the Allegheny River, is Friends Boat Launch in the Quaker area of Allegany State Park, just 2.5 miles south of Rt. 86 on Rt. 280. Both Onoville Marina and Friends feature paved launch sites that are perfect for pontoons, motor boats or kayaks.

Geocaching is the world’s largest treasure hunt played by adventure seekers young and old who are equipped with GPS devices. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, and share your experiences online. The geocaches are hidden outdoors, so be prepared for the elements!

Discover new beautiful spots along New York’s Amish GeoTrail (NYAGT) Parts 1 & 2 which are along the West side of Cattaraugus County

With the help of our local Historians, we have developed The Enchanted Mountains History GeoTrail (EMHGT) Parts 1 & 2, which cover most of the County. These new trails offer historical facts about each of the cache locations with information provided by the Cattaraugus County Historical Advisory Committee.

Go to Geocaching.com to register, (it’s FREE) then retrieve the coordinates for any of these geocaches on the trails.

Visit EMFun.us/Geocache or search for NYAGT or EMHGT on Geocaching.com Watch for EMHGT Part 3 early spring 2017!

The 20+ miles of trails are well-designed and offer skiers an exceptional skiing experience. The trails are groomed on an asneeded basis by park staff for classic-only skiing. No snowshoeing, hiking or dogs are permitted on the trails during the winter. Don’t have your own cross country skis? You can rent them at the Summit Warming Hut right across the street!

Holiday Valley’s Sky High Adventure Park

 Challenge yourself at Sky High Aerial Adventure Park

The Aerial Adventure Park is a playground in the trees featuring a series of platforms and bridges. Use strategy and balance to cross bridges, climb ladders and soar on zip lines to get to the next platform.

The Sky Flyer Mountain Coaster is an effortless adrenaline rush where “cars” pull riders up the track only to zigzag down 2,940 hair-raising feet while maneuvering 15 curves, 12 waves, a jump and a corkscrew spiral.

Open late May through November and some winter hours. HolidayValley.com The Climbing Forest is a 3-D version of a climbing wall and is the only one of its kind in NY State. There are 10 trees outfitted with color coded climbing holds and the difficulty ranges from very easy to very challenging.

Climb up and rappel down! There’s a special kids’ area with 2 trees where young climbers can climb about 6 feet up and climb back down.

These adventures are generally open May through October, but because they’re weather dependent, we encourage you to call first.

716-699-HIGH | HolidayValley.com The Seneca Clan Rock Hunt at Holiday Valley is a way for families to dig into the past together. The goal? To find all the Seneca Clan Rocks that are located throughout the resort. There are eight clans in the Seneca Nation, and each is represented by an animal with certain respected traits. Holiday Valley has placed carved “Clan Rocks” with descriptions of the clans throughout the resort. Not only is this a great adventure teaching kids how to follow a trail map, they also learn about Native American culture in this area.  Go Swimming at Holiday Valley’s Pool Complex

Fishing is bountiful with miles of glistening waterways, lakes and the Allegheny Reservoir. The Cattaraugus Creek has been named in the top 10 places for steelhead fishing by InFisherman Magazine. The fish begin entering the creek in September and the fishing remains excellent well into December. March through May is also a great time to catch Steelhead.

The Seneca Nation of Indians has exclusive rights to hunting and fishing on their territories, but allow others to obtain a Seneca Nation of Indians Fishing License. Fishing licenses can be obtained at the Seneca Nation’s Clerk’s Office in Irving or Salamanca, or any Nation-owned One Stop Convenient stores located in Irving, Salamanca, and Cuba, NY.

 Drive cautiously on the road for slower moving buggies and tractors.

Nestled within the Enchanted Mountains of Cattaraugus County, behind the hustle and bustle of today’s world, sits NY’s Amish Trail.

A place where you can take a step back in time, slow down and enjoy a simpler way of life.

The NY Amish Trail is a self-guided tour through our Amish area, which is the largest Old-Order Amish community in the United States. These people have resisted innovations and live without electricity, phones, cars and other modern conveniences.

Our trail map will show you the way to follow handpainted signs down the back roads to Amish businesses where you can purchase a wide variety of goods made with unsurpassed quality and craftsmanship. The Amish sell their products from their homes and are usually open from dawn to dusk. Look for the “Open” sign! These shops are not open on Sundays and some holidays, and do not accept credit cards.

If you’d like a more informative experience, we encourage you to schedule a custom tour of the Amish Trail. There are several organizations that offer tours with “stepon guides” that live among the Amish and can explain their beliefs and culture as you tour the area. Contact information for tours can be found on AmishTrail.com Please remember to respect the Amish peoples’ privacy and personal property, and don’t photograph them, as it is against their beliefs.

As you tour the enchanted countryside, drive cautiously and watch for black, slow-moving, horse-drawn buggies.

For a free Amish Information guide and map of the area, please call 1-800-331-0543 or visit AmishTrail.com.

2 Drive-Ins (Outdoor Movies) Very few drive-ins are left in the USA. Why not spend a warm summer evening with the family, friends or a date at either the Delevan Drive-In or the Portville Drive-In. Both outdoor theaters have 2 screens and each screen plays 2 movies a night. You can see 2 movies at the drive-in for what you'd pay to see 1 movie at the movie theater.

{ Seneca Nation of Indians }

n a s i d n I f o n Seneca Natio

The Seneca Nation is one of the original Five Nations of the Hodinöhšyönih, or Iroquois Confederacy.

This union was created to bring peace to the Hodinöhšyönih, or “People of the Longhouse,” as they call themselves. Comprised of chiefs from the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, and Mohawk, it operated under a complex orally transmitted code of conduct known as the Great Law of Peace. This union was later expanded to include the Tuscarora, becoming the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy.

The Hodinöhšyönih tribes’ contiguous lands originally stretched across what is now known as New York State, similar to the shape of a longhouse. The Seneca controlled 36

trade and traffic at the western edge of the Iroquois territory, which is why they are referred to as “Keepers of the Western Door.” The Mohawks, who lived near the Hudson River, are called “Keepers of the Eastern Door.”

Like the other Iroquois tribes, the Seneca historically lived in longhouses, which were long, narrow bark-covered dwellings that housed several families from the same clan. The Seneca are known as Onöndowa’ga:’, (pronounced: Ohn’own-dough-wahgah) or “Great Hill People.”

Traditional Seneca culture is defined by the clan system. There are eight clans among the Seneca, divided into animals: Bear, Beaver, Turtle, and Wolf; and the birds: Deer, Hawk, Heron, and Snipe. Clan membership

is matrilineal – it is passed on to children through their mothers.

The Seneca would hunt, fish, farm and gather their food. Staples of the Seneca crop and diet were corn, beans, and squash, which are referred to as “Jöhehgöh”, the Three Sisters, and considered to be special gifts from the Creator. Everything that the Seneca historically used in their daily life came from the land or nature, including clothing, tools, cooking utensils, crafts and other materials.

Keeping the Legacy Alive The Seneca have lived in and cared for the forests, valleys, and shorelines of what is now Western New York, since before recorded history. The riches of this land and

2017 Activities Guide | Cattaraugus County, the Enchanted Mountains of NY

these waters are revered among the Seneca, as is their obligation to pass along this legacy. Today the Seneca Nation has over 8,100 enrolled members and holds title to three main territories in Western New York, specifically, the Cattaraugus, Allegany, and Oil Spring territories.

The Seneca Nation continues to support its own people and surrounding communities with a variety of cultural, educational and economic efforts. Through the enterprises of the Nation, revenues are generated that provide necessary services and programs to all tribal members, especially its youth and elder population.

Seneca culture and values remain strong and intact. The vibrancy of their rich heritage is evident in the cultural events, dance, music, arts, crafts and foods that visitors are invited to experience.

The Seneca-Iroquois National Museum showcases both permanent and temporary exhibits that introduce visitors to the culture and history of the Onöndowa’ga:’ and Hodinöhšyönih including a Longhouse and a clan animal exhibit. The

museum is located at 814 Broad Street, Salamanca, NY 14779.

Visit them online at SenecaMuseum.org to plan your trip.
