More about Taylor Valley State Forest...

Taylor Valley State Forest (Cortland #2), formerly known as Seacord Hill, encompasses 4,638 acres and is located in the towns of Cuyler, Solon, Taylor, and Truxton in the middle of Cortland County. It is a popular area for family based recreational activities such as hunting, hiking, snowmobiling, bird watching, nature viewing, picnicking and camping.

The Chinango Day Use and Camping Area are also located in the forest and provide many users with a rustic environment in which they can experience the joys of camping, picnicking, and getting back in touch with nature. The Day Use Area has a pavilion with two picnic tables as well as three barbeque pits. The Camping Area, located across the road from the Day Use Area, provides primitive drive-up camping opportunities.
