Western New York Outdoors
A Parks and Recreation Guide to locations for outdoor adventures in WNY.

Dobbins Memorial
State Forest in the Town of Mansfield, Cattaraugus County.

Description:

This state forest is named after Harry E. Dobbins.  A boulder enclosed parking lot with 2 lean-tos, one with a picnic table is surrounded by hardwood forest.  A southern hiking and nature trail takes you uphill toward the village of Little Valley.

I found reference to an Old Indian fort on an old map, apparently the area has some archaeological significance but I could not find this location.  There is access to more state land off Dublin Road, a gravel road that climbs a hill to a circle turnaround in the state forest.
