Chenango Valley State Park is a 1,075-acre (4.35 km2) state park located in Broome County, New York in the United States.[4] The park is located adjacent to the Chenango River in western part of the Town of Fenton.
The park includes the 18-hole Chenango Valley State Park Golf Course.
Park description
Chenango Valley State Park offers a beach, picnic tables with pavilions, a playground, recreation programs, a 184-site campground, 24 cabins, sledding, a boat launch with boat rentals, and a food concession. Trails are available for hiking, biking, and cross-country skiing.[5]
The park includes forested and wetland habitats; forested areas contain populations of woodpeckers, nuthatches, warblers and thrushes, while the lake and wetland areas host herons, ducks and kingfishers.[6] The mature woodlands are noted for a particularly large number of pileated woodpeckers.[citation needed] For anglers, Chenango Lake includes trout, bass, perch and bullhead.[6]
Two kettle lakes, Chenango Lake and Lily Lake, are found within the park. The lakes were formed as glaciers receded at the end of the most recent ice age.[2]
The Chenango Valley State Park Golf Course is located within the park. The course, originally constructed as a 9-hole course by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, was expanded to its current 18-hole size in 1967.[7]
