Hunting Season underway! Share the Woods!
Below is communication from our partners at the NYS Dec. This also applies to NYS parks where hunting is permitted. Be safe out there my fellow mountain bikers!
“With big game hunting season (Deer and Bear) underway this is just a reminder to stay safe out there while using and maintaining trails. Remember to wear bright orange or pink when going afield to make yourself visible to others. Most of you already have safety vests, please wear them!
All our state forest and wildlife lands are open to hunting this time of the year and remain open for all other recreational activities. All users must share the woods and be aware of their surroundings.
It is currently archery season which runs now until November 20th. Regular firearm season runs from November 21st-December 13th. Then late muzzleloader/archery runs from December 14th-December 22nd AND December 26th to January 1st.
Other hunting that is going on in the fall include grouse, turkey, pheasant, and rabbit.
Attached is a PDF indicating areas and dates for quick reference.” ... See MoreSee Less

In 2007, Thom Wright, along with a group of volunteers from NAMBA and WNYMBA, began building what would eventually become Harris Hill Extension, in Harris Hill State Forest, just outside of Gerry, NY.
In 2019, WNYMBA assumed the Volunteer Stewardship Agreement for the mountain bike trails in Chautauqua County and has since assisted Thom in building and maintaining a trail system that is nearly 19 total miles. This video provides a brief history of the trail network and demonstrates how an idea can become a reality with collaboration between the NYSDEC and WNYMBA.
Big thanks to the Chautauqua County Partnership for Economic Growth for helping with this video. Enjoy the ride! ... See MoreSee Less
