Geocache Description:

Allegany State Park has many beautiful trails that you can hike, bike, cross-country ski, rollerblade, ride horseback, mountain bike, snowmobile and more. Most of the trails are used throughout the entire year such as the groomed snowmobile trails that double as horseback riding trails in the summer.


Cross-country skiing is part of the Nordic skiing sport family, which also includes ski jumping, and a combination sport of cross-country skiing and ski jumping called Nordic combined. Another combination sport is ski-orienteering, which adds the skill of map navigation along snow trails and tracks.

The Art Roscoe Ski Touring Area is named in honor of Art Roscoe, a park forester who was instrumental in the early development of Nordic skiing at Allegany State Park. Partially comprised of old, narrow gauge railroad beds that wander through beautiful old-growth hardwood forests, the scenic trails often offer spectacular views of the surrounding Allegheny Mountains. As this is along the groomed section of the ski trails please follow these rules during the winter months. No Dogs Allowed, No Hiking, and No Snowshoeing.

This is a short hike from the Bova ski area parking lot. Enjoy the hunt.

ASP Charges admission from Memorial Day to Labor Day.

This cache is placed with permission of the New York State Parks and holds permit ALL389.

Due to the gps signal being erratic in this area I have increased the difficulty level to a 3 and am listing a new set of cords. Try N 042 06.265 W078 42.698.
