11. Allegany State Park
Salamanca’s Allegany State Park stretches for almost 65,000 acres. Not counting the Catskills and Adirondacks, this is the largest state park in all of New York. The bedrock and massive boulders ensconced throughout the thick forest here also make it quite a distinguished location.
Rock climbers take the quarter-mile Thunder Rocks Trail to explore the hidden alcoves. Red House Lake has a beach perfect for summertime swimming. Canoers and kayakers head to Quaker Lake or even the Allegany River itself. You can tent camp, stay at an RV site, or rent cabins, cottages, or yurts.
