PLAN TO
SPROUT
SPRING
PLANS
IN CATTARAUGUS COUNTY, NY!
Warm weather is here! The leaves have started to grow,
the light stays with us past dinnertime and it's time to watch
the renewal of nature! You don't want to miss a minute of
enjoying nature awaken around you, so make plans to visit
one of our incredible outdoor attractions that just happen
to open up in May as well! Rock City Park, Griffis Sculpture
Park, Sky High Adventure Park and Onoville Marina invite
you to into the swing of spring this year!
Rock City Park, opening May 1 st , will offer visitors a spec-
tacular view of the Enchanted Mountains from "Signal Rock",
where they can see all the new leaves forming on the trees.
Discover 80 feet tall rocks as you hike the trail that leads
under, around and sometimes through these magnificent
rocks. Plan a trip there for their annual Mother's Day Week-
end Arts and Crafts Show
At Griffis Sculpture Park, where nature combines with
art, visitors hike along the trail in the woods to then
come upon enormous sculptures in the fields. Adults
like the park because it has beauty like no other, while
children like the park because you can climb on the
sculptures! It opens May 1 st each year and visitors enjoy
feeling the warmth of the sun while resting beside a
giant steel giraffe or by the ladies near the lake.
See the budding trees up close and personal at Sky
High Adventure Park, opening May 4 th . Plan your at-
tack through a series of platforms and "bridges" built
high amongst the trees and connected by logs, hang-
ing chunks of wood or other obstacles. Most courses
include a zipline ride, and some have more than one!
And don't forget the most fun on four tracks, the Sky
Flyer Mountain Coaster!
Warmer weather also means warmer water! Float your
boat and soak up the sun along 91 miles of natural
shoreline in the Allegheny Reservoir, launching at
Onoville Marina, the largest inland marina in New York
State. Campsites, dock space and fuel dock are avail-
able as well as great dining nearby at the Horseshoe
Inn and the Nic-L-Inn. View the beautiful scenery of
rolling hills, clear water, and wooded areas as you drift
or speed along! Boat rentals are available.
