Places to hang in western NY?

I've been to Minister Creek in Allegheny Nat'l Forest 3 times. It is a great place for hammocking. It's an easy path from the trailhead, there are even campsites at the trailhead if you didn't want to hike but just wanted to crash.

Here is a little Trip Report from a couple of weeks ago when I went out there.
Lots of nice hiking in the A.N.F.

Lots of good hiking! Lots of good hanging on the state land and at the designated bivy sites, no issue with hammocks at all.

This looks pretty good! The map shows parking right off 17 which would give me more hiking time and less driving.
