Shindagin Hollow State Forest covers 5,318 acres. Its large size and good access from public roads make this a great forest to enjoy activities such as mountain biking, hunting, hiking, snowmobiling, bird watching, and primitive camping. Cross Country skiing and snowshoeing are permitted on all hiking trails. Common mammals found on the unit include white tailed deer, wild turkey, ruffed grouse and woodcock, black bear, eastern cottontail rabbits and rabbits. Shindagin Hollow Road, pictured is this road in winter, provides seasonal access to the western and central portions of the forest. Town of Caroline, Tompkins County and Town of Candor, Tioga County The Shindagin Hollow State Forest is located on the Allegheny Plateau, which is made of sedimentary bedrock that formed approximately 350 million years ago when the region was covered by an ancient saltwater sea. Glaciers created the `U` shaped valleys of the region and the Finger Lakes. The last glacier left New York State about 10,000 years ago. Human settlement followed the retreat of the glacier. Tompkins County was originally home to members of the Iroquois Confederation or Haudenosaunee, specifically the Cayuga Nation.
