Allegany State Park's 65,000 acres, most of it primitive woodland, make it the largest state park in the system. Two developed areas, Red House and Quaker, have sand beaches and hiking and nature trails that do double duty for horseback riding, biking, cross-country skiing and snowmobiling. The Red House area has recently added ice fishing and winter campsites to its list of winter activities. Of all the parks in the state system, Allegany is the most attractive to snowmobilers because of its 90 miles of snowmobile trails. Three campgrounds and 27 cabin trails offer over 300 campsites and 300 cabins, more than 150 of them winterized, and three Group Camps available for rental. The newest additions to the park are year-round Full Service Accomodations, which are fully-equipped with the latest conveniences, and are located in both the Red House and Quaker areas. The old Quaker Store has been completely restored and now houses a park museum. One highlight of the exhibits is a three-dimensional topographical map of the park to orient visitors to its main features. Allegany's mixed hemlock/hardwood forest, mountains, rolling hills and meadows, streams, ponds and lakes attract devoted outdoors people year-round.
