First Timer?

​Generally, you take care of your own lodging and food. To help you out, the Boy Scouts sell hot dogs at noon on Saturday, and there is a chicken or vegetarian meal you can pre-order for Saturday evening. Learn more about the logistics for the weekend on the About page.
Always the weekend after Memorial Day, the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage has been held at beautiful Allegany State Park annually since 1959.
