Allegany State Park is a state park in western New York State, located in Cattaraugus County just north of the Allegheny National Forest in Pennsylvania. The park is divided into two sections: The Red House Area and the Quaker Run Area. It lies within the Allegheny Highlands forests ecoregion.

The Red House Area is the northeastern half of Allegany State Park. The Red House area's attractions include Stone Tower, the Summit Fire Tower, Red House Lake, Bridal Falls, and the Art Roscoe Ski Area. This section also contains five miles (8.0 km) of paved bike trails and 130 camp sites. The Red House area is the location of the Administration Building for the park.[2]

The Quaker area is the southwestern section of the park. Its attractions include Quaker Lake, the Mount Tuscarora Fire Tower, hiking trails, Science lake, Bear Caves, Thunder Rocks, the Quaker Amphitheater, and several campsites. The Cain Hollow campground is located on the Quaker side of the park.[3]

Allegany State Park was named as a top "Amazing Spot" in the nation in 2007.[4] It has also been referred to as "the wilderness playground of Western New York."[3]

The park is 1 of 80 New York State Parks that are in the path of totality for the 2024 solar eclipse, with 1 minute and 42 seconds of totality.[5]
