Black Bear have been returning to Allegany State Park, in western New York. Bears can be spotted from Mother's Day to Thanksgiving. The Bears frequent the cabin areas and love to climb in the dumpsters to get at the garbage. It is not uncommon to see dupsters tipped over and garbage bags all over from the bears antics at night. You know Yogi has to have his "Picinic Basket". In the summer of 2004 we spotted 6 different bears and one mother with 2 cubs. I was not able to get a picture of the cubs, the mother is very protective and kept them well hidden.
Of course Allegany has alot more to offer, there are many hiking trails, great fishing streams and lakes,
( if you forget your pole , they will rent you one , and they sell bait),swiming with diving platforms and lifeguards ,canoeing and peddle boats, numerous camping sites and cabins to rent. It's a great place to get away from it all!
Set up your tent camper, or trailer, or Tent and get back to Mother Nature.ahhhhh
Play some Catch...
Get some firewood for the big bonfire tonight....
Play in a creek....
Whatever you decide to do, its a wonderful place to do it..Go to Allegany and Have Fun!!

This is looks wonderful. We like to camp -- I am getting to where I like a camper more and more though!
I will come back and read again sometime. I'm glad you visited my blog!
I love Allegheny too! Can't wait to go again. You did a great job on the pictures of the bear, and capturing the beauty of Allegheny. The bears really do come out at night, and are always emptying out those trash cans.
See you in Allegheny...
