With 65,000 acres of primitive forested valleys, fall leaves, and abundant wildlife, it is no wonder that Allegany State Park was named as one of the Top 100 Campgrounds in the nation.
The largest state park in the system, Allegany has plenty of activities for all outdoor enthusiasts. Two developed areas, Red House and Quaker, offer sand beaches, picnic areas, museums, hiking trails and nature walks. Most visitors take advantage of the 5 miles of paved trails around Red House. The Art Roscoe Ski Touring Area has some of the best groomed cross-country-skiing and mountain bike trails in the Northeast. Snowmobilers love the 90 miles of groomed snowmobile trails and over 150 winterized cabins. Other activities include bird watching, picnicking, fishing, hunting, snowshoeing, canoeing, and horseback riding.
With 424 campsites, 375 cabins and three group camps available for rental, Allegany State Park can offer visitors lodging for everything from a simple weekend getaway to an extended vacation. There are also fully-equipped year-round vacation rental cottages located in both the Red House and Quaker areas. The seven Fancher Cottages are located in the southern part of the Allegany State park offer guests a unique camping experience. Each Fancher Cottage has a bathroom with shower, refrigerator, counter-top range and microwave. The fully handicapped accessible cottages sleep six, are furnished and stocked with pillows, bedding, cooking utensils, dishes and coffeemakers. In addition, each cottage has a grill and picnic table outside. The Pitt Cottage in the Red House Area offers the same amenities as the Fancher Cottages. One important distinctive feature of the Pitt Cottage is its gas burning stone fireplace. Located on Allegany State Park Rte. 2, the cottage is adjacent to Congdon Trail and three miles from the Administration Building.
