Zoar River Valley

Gowanda, New York

Description

Large gorge with great views. Great for hiking, kayaking, white water rafting, fishing and bird watching.

There are many trails here with many entrances. This is a DEC multiple use area and is completely free. Most of the trails start out at the top of the gorge and go along the edge of it. There are also many trails that gradually head into the gorge and allow you to walk right in the river. In the spring, this is a great place to raft because of the high water volume. In the summer, many people kayak or fish here. The fall in New York is beautiful as the trees have stunning foliage all around the gorge. This area gets a lot of snow so hiking in the winter would be difficult but it has some great trails in the surrounding area for snowshoeing.

Hike to Eternal Flame Falls in Chestnut Ridge Park

I'd heard two things about this particular waterfall before seeing it: the flame isn't always lit (so bring a lighter) and the current depends on the rain.

It's a short mile and a half hike total and there are easy to ...

Hike the Rimrock-Morrison Trail

This trail has several loops off of it. Have a clear map when going into it, so you know which sections you are doing. Once you leave the trailhead parking lot, you have an option to head left on the Morrison Loop, or right on the Rimrock Loop. There is an adjacent trail that they share down the middle, if you only do one side or the other. The whole trail of both loops is 14 miles. We went r...

Hike the Gorge Trail in Letchworth State Park

There are over 66 miles of trails to explore at Letchworth State Park; however, the most popular and the one I chose is the Gorge Trail. This trail runs 7 miles from point-to-point passing by three lovely waterfalls. It travels parallel to the main road for the majority of the hike. You can start at either end or any section between as there are many parking lots throughout the park. I started...

Photograph Niagara Falls

From largest to smallest there is Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. The combined falls produce a flow rate that is the highest of a...
