A Parks and Recreation Guide to locations for outdoor adventures in WNY.

Bucktooth
State Forest in the Town of Napoli, Cattaraugus County.

Description:

This hardwood forest area on the West Branch of Bucktooth Run Road is northwest of Salamanca (originally called Bucktooth back in the 1850's) and south of Little Valley.  This area was carved by the glaciers and is on the northern edge of the Allegheny Plateau and southern end of the Finger Lakes drainage area.

If you come from Route 242 you can take the East Branch of Bucktooth Run Road where you will pass the Elkdale State Forest on Fourth Street, in the Town of Little Valley.  Turn right on the West Branch of Bucktooth Run Road, you will pass Ewing Forest Road and the Snowmobile trail.  You can also take Manley Hill Road, if coming from Napoli going east, to the West Branch.  Bucktooth Run empties into the Allegany River.  Many fine springs of water are found in these hills and valleys.  The former timberlands now produce many cash crops.  There are trails for hiking, mountain biking, 4x4 trucks and snowmobiling.
