Alfred J Woodford State Forest

The Albert J. Woodford Memorial Forest contains 2,664 acres, and as with most state forests, the majority of this land was pasture and cropland at one time. Tassel Hill, located in the northern portion of the property, is the point of highest elevation in Oneida County. The Chittning Pond Fishing Access Site is a popular area for fishermen of all levels. Warm water species such as bass and sunfish are known to inhabit this pond. There is a gravel hand launch located in the southwest corner of Chittning Pond.

Chittning Pond

Bright blue skies, hoar frost on the trees, made for a perfect back drop over Chittning Pond this Martin Luther King Day. Warm temperature meant that ice was too thin for ice fishing, but still provided a colorful backdrop to the deep blue skies.

With Martin Luther King's day beautiful bright blue skies, the hoar frost covering the trees and bushes on made for a brilliant contrast, looking down at the browns of the farm fields below.
