There are no designated recreation trails, but several Department roads, cleared gas pipelines and old skid roads, deer paths, and old farm lanes are available for exploring. Today, Rock Creek and all state forests in New York are managed for multiple benefits to serve the needs of the people of New York. Sustainable management practices will ensure a perpetual supply of timber, a diversity of wildlife habitats, compatible recreational opportunities and clean water.
