Zoar Valley

The Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area is a conservation area located at the confluence of the main and south branches of Cattaraugus Creek, on the border of Erie County and Cattaraugus County in western New York, United States. The area is within the towns of Collins, Otto, and Persia. Available activities include fishing, hunting, hiking, white-water rafting, and wildlife and scenic viewing.
"Zoar Valley" often refers inclusively to the larger valley of the Cattaraugus, but the state Multiple Use Area specifically encompasses an section of the creek's Main Branch Canyon and of the smaller South Branch. Canyon depths here are by far the greatest within the entire river corridor, ranging up to in the South Branch and along the Main Branch. Several nearly vertical rock faces approach . Zoar Valley contains some of the last stands of old-growth forest in western New York and consists of . In 2007, as part of the drafting and implementation of Zoar Valley's Unit Management Plan, the entire state-owned length of gorge plus a buffer (where sufficient public land is held), and a 300-foot buffer along several of the larger side creeks, was designated as the Zoar Valley Unique Area, which affords conservation protection comparable to that enjoyed by wildlands in the Adirondacks. The Unique Area contains the large majority of the currently known or suspected old-growth forest, all of the slope and cliff/talus plant communities, and all of the riverside floodplain and terrace woodlands. This achievement culminated a dedicated campaign by citizens, activists, and scientists/students to see this ecological gem awarded the recognition and preservation it has long deserved.
== History ==
The land was acquired by the state under the 1960 Multiple Use Bond Act, and additional land was added from Herbert F. Darling. The multiple use area is maintained by the Department of Environmental Conservation of New York State. The adjacent Deer Lick Conservation Area is owned by The Nature Conservancy. Two other privately owned conservation areas, the William P. Alexander Preserve and the Rodger Sweetland Memorial Preserve, are located nearby and are owned by the Nature Sanctuary Society of Western New York.
