Black River Wild Forest

Black River Valley

Black River Valley

Looking at this 3D rendering of the Black River Valley, I never realized how nearly all the agriculture is on the west side of valley, climbing up into the Tug Hill Plateau. I am most of that has to do with the soils -- the east side is very sandy and infertile with a lot of timber stands. This picture starts around Boonville and heads north of Lowville, the town that rhythms with cow-ville for good reason.

North Lake Reservior

 North Lake Reservior

There are several designated campsites along North Lake both on the Conservation Easement and on the Black River Wild Forest. About 15 sites are drive-in, the rest are paddle-in or walk-in.

Woodhull Lake

 Woodhull Lake

Take Wolf Lake Landing Road to the Wolf Lake Landing Parking area. Carry your boatd 1/4 mile to the lake. Wolf Lake was merged with Woodhull Lake when the reservior was formed. There is a lean-to, outhouse, and a good place to launch a hand-carried boat. AT the southern-most portion of the lake there is a a dam that holds back the lake. Part of the lake is lightly developed with cabins along the shoreline.

Remsen Falls

Remsen Falls is a small waterfall along the South Branch Moose River in the Black River Wild Forest.
