Getting around
Left out the black top driveway, turn left a ½ mile down on RT242 – it’s 5 minutes to Holimont, another 2 minutes to the center of Town, and another 2 minutes to Holiday Valley. But skiing is for just one of our beautiful four seasons around here, this beautiful property caters to ALL FOUR!

Hiking: Dublin Road is just minutes away from Western New York’s best hiking trails. Allegany State Park offers over 80 miles of beautiful hiking trails for all levels of hiker’s from easy to moderate even to some advanced. Allegany State Park (or simply ASP) is approximately a ten minute drive from this location and has plenty of all year round activities which we will mention as we move forward.
Even closer to Dublin Road is Little Rock City State Land which includes much of the area between Ellicottville and Salamanca. This underused area is a hidden gem. Its Limestone Rock formations are as impressive as anywhere else. There area also numerous trails that run through the area including the popular Finger Lakes Trail and the North Country Trail.

Fishing: If fishing is your hobby, Cattaraugus County has in it some of the best trout fishing streams in Western New York. Very close by is the rarely fished Mansfield Creek that has one of the highest populations of Native Trout in WNY. If you want to venture a little further for trout Ischua and Cattaraugus Creek are first class trout fishing destinations as well (both can be fished via Kayak or canoe as well). If your fishing desires are more small boat or shore based there are a plethora of nearby scenic Lakes to choose from including New Albion Lake, Case and Harwood Lake in Franklinville and Red House and Quaker Lakes both located inside beautiful Allegany State Park (kayak rentals available and affordable). All five Lakes are popular ice fishing destinations as well. The Allegany River is also another popular fishery and stretches from Portville in the East End of the County and flows into the Allegany Reservoir to the West. The Allegany River has an assortment of fish ranging from Walleye and Sauger to Paddlefish and everything in between.

Kayaking: The Allegany River is one of the more popular waterways to explore by Kayak. It offers scenic views and carries a steady slow current for a relaxing day on the river.

If you are here in the summer try out the Ropes Course at Holiday Valley. Or if you are here in the Fall make sure to take a ride to Pumpkinville at the end of Sugartown Road or take a chair lift up the Spruce Lift or simply drive around and marvel at the spectacular color display of fall foliage. Just across the border is the area of “Pennsylvania Wilds” where you can visit the Kinzua Bridge State Park and view wild Elk in Benezette.
