Pepperbox Wilderness

The Pepperbox Wilderness is located on the western side of the Adirondack Park, entirely within the Town of Webb, Herkimer County and just north of the Moshier Reservoir and the Beaver River. At 14,600 acres, Pepperbox is one of the smallest Wilderness areas in the Adirondacks.

A unit management plan (UMP) was completed for the Pepperbox Wilderness Area in 1985. If you have questions or would like a copy of the UMP, please email us at r6ump@gw.dec.state.ny.us.
