CHENANGO VALLEY STATE PARK
153 State Park Road
Chenango Forks, New York***
Chenango Valley State Park is an ice age wonder. Its two kettle lakes, Lily and Chenango, were created when the last glacier retreated and left behind huge chunks of buried ice which melted to form the lakes and bog. Birdwatchers may glimpse woodpeckers, nut hatches, warblers and thrushes along woodland trails and herons, ducks and kingfishers lakeside. Fishermen will find trout, bass, perch and bullhead in Chenango Lake. Campers can choose from among 184 campsites and 24 cabins and golfers will appreciate the 18-hole Chenango Valley State Park*Golf Course*(pro shop can be reached by calling: 607-648-9700).

The camper crawl is always a big hit so don't miss this activity.
This will be our 5th year (6th if not for COVID). We do not have sites set aside for us; it is first come, first serve, so reserve early. The host will hopefully have site #114 again.
Once we hit the 30 sites, the rally will be closed, even if there are sites available at the campground. Logistically we can only handle 30 sites. If the rally is full, email Ron & Shirley to get put on the waiting list.
Thanks
