Harvey Mountain State Forest

Harvey Mountain State Forest are managed for multiple uses, including timber production, watershed protection, wildlife habitat and recreation. Recreational opportunities include hiking, biking, picnicking, horseback riding (except on foot trails and snowmobile/ski trails when snow covered), camping, snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, hunting, fishing, trapping, wildlife observation and photography.

Harvey Mountain State Forest also has a lean-to along the trail, as well as a large, unique blueberry patch at the summit of the mountain.

Decending an Unnamed Hill

|

Part of the gated/snow covered portion of Harvey Mountain Truck Trail, goes around and partially over a small hill, then drops into a ravine, until finally one climbs up Harvey Mountain. The truck trail is not much of a hike, no more 9/10th of a mile and only a 150 foot climb.

Harvey Mountain Truck Trail

This is the portion that now appears to be gated. I do not know if this truck trail is open during the summer. The map shows it as an open truck trail. Regardless, it was very snow covered this time of year.
