Sep 30, 2014 — The Zoar Valley Multiple Use Area features a beautifully carved gorge. This hike leads down to the confluence of the Cattaraugus Creek Main Branch and Cattaraugus Creek South Branch. After a short descent from the trailhead, the trail continues into Valentine Flats, which is apparently often flooded. Being at the confluence with its delightful water sounds, and staring up at the towering gorge walls is a relaxing and disconnecting experience.
I also took a quick hike along the Overlook Trail to get a nice view from above.
