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

Vandermark
State Forest in the Town of Ward, Allegany County.

Description:

Vandermark State Forest is a remote area with hiking trails and camping.  This is one of the top deer hunting areas in New York State.

There are several forested and nature areas, over 9,000 acres of public land, that are popular with Alfred University students looking for outdoor recreation.  Vandermark State Forest is located west of SUNY and south of Route 244.  Take County Route 10 south (Vandermark Road) to Duke Road.  Continuing to a bridge and downstream you will see Vandermark Creek (NYS DEC stocked with brown trout) and state forest signs.  It is a small tributary of the Genesee River.

Phillips Creek State Forest is nearby on Route 244, northeast of Vandermark, and 5 miles west of Alfred, off Water Wells Road.  There is a 13 mile network of hiking, biking and nordic ski trails here with layout near the entrance.

Plum Bottom State Forest is west of Vandermark, in Amity, off Route 19.  There are trails off Reddy Road.
