South Branch Cattaraugus Access at the Forty Road parking lot in the Town of Persia provides easy access to the South Branch of Cattaraugus Creek, featuring a short universally accessible trail to a scenic overlook at the old bridge abutment.

This is the only authorized safe access point for gorge and creek activities in the area; anglers may proceed upstream for fishing purposes only, while downstream paddling and hiking are permitted.

The parking area includes a kiosk with additional information and is open year-round from sunrise to sunset.
