More about Mad River State Forest...

The 2,933-acre Mad River State Forest features rolling terrain with streams and wetlands interspersed throughout. It has tranquil, woodland areas that contain a mixture of plantations and natural forests. Many of the properties were purchased by the state in the 1930s and early 1940s as exhausted farmland with little or no tree cover. The first priorities after the establishment of a state forest were to reforest the land, prevent soil erosion, and minimize the threat of wildfires. This state land is currently managed for water quality protection, recreation, wildlife habitat and timber production. https://www.dec.ny.gov/lands/107914.html
