Tug Hill
Southern Tug Hill
This map shows parts of Oswego County and Lewis County in the Southern Tug Hill. Most interesting are the high hills south of Boonville, including the area around Pixley Falls, where the old Black River Canal runs.

Tug Hill State Forest (Inman Gulf Area)
This 12,242-acre state forest, actually a combination of four neighboring forests, is so named because it is located entirely on the Tug Hill Plateau, an area that is renowned for its harsh winters and heavy snowfalls. This area is along the Inman Trail and is criss-crossed by cross country skil trails in the winter, many of which are nice trails for accessing the back country in the summer (the power line trail can be swampy in the summer).
Tug Hill Valley
Between the Tug Hill Plateau and the Western Adirondacks runs a narrow band of excellent agricultural soils in the Black River Valley that produce many a bushel of corn 🌽 and silage. 🐮
Pixley Falls-area
The Black River Canal once wound through that gorge that is now home to Pixley Falls State Park. The state owns most of the land on the forested hills around the gorge.
