Blue Mountain Wild Forest - Unit Management Plan
This area is located in Hamilton and western Essex counties. It is bounded by Route 30 on the west and south, the Hudson River on the east and Route 28N on the north.The terrain varies from gentle around the easily accessible and popular Rock Lake to extremely steep and rugged in the remote Fishing Brook Range.
The 3,759 foot Blue Mountain dominates the landscape for some distance around, offering wide ranging views in all directions for those willing to make a short but steep hike to the summit from the picturesque hamlet of Blue Mountain Lake.
A Unit Management Plan was completed for Blue Mountain Wild Forest in May 1995. If you have questions and/or comments about this UMP, please email us at: r5.ump@dec.ny.gov
