Black River Wild Forest
The Black River Wild Forest is located in the south-western foothills of the Adirondack Park. The unit is comprised of over 121,000 acres of Forest Preserve lands in Herkimer, Lewis, Hamilton, and Oneida counties.
A Unit Managment Plan (UMP) was completed for the Black River Wild Forest in 1996. Management recommendations include the construction of a leanto near Bear Lake, the construction of several multi-use trails, the rehabilitation and constructions of several parking areas and the construction of an access road to the Miller & Swanton Tract portion of the unit.
