Jessup River Wild Forest

Maps - Photos - Videos

The Jessup River Wild Forest (JRWF) area consists of 47,350 acres of State Forest Preserve lands in the towns of Arietta, Indian Lake, Lake Pleasant, and Wells in Hamilton County. The unit is bounded by Route 28 to the north and Route 30 in the southeast, as well as three wilderness areas: West Canada Lakes Wilderness to the west; Siamese Ponds Wilderness to the east, and Silver Lake Wilderness to the south. The state lands in this unit border, or are in close proximity to, the communities of Indian Lake, Piseco, Speculator and Wells. Route 30 bisects the unit and serves as the main access corridor. Many people enjoy hiking to the fire towers on Pillsbury and Snowy mountains, snowmobiling between Piseco Lake and Indian Lake, canoeing on Fall Stream, or camping on Mason Lake. Hunting, fishing, and trapping are also popular activities throughout the unit but particularly in and around Perkins Clearing, the Jessup River and the Miami River.

Robb Creek Mill Campsite

I believe is the infamous campsite, which is located on the Sacandaga River near where Robb Creek runs into it. But regardless, it is a beautiful tent site on the river, a short driveway down from the Old Route 8B.

Murphy Farm

As seen along the Catskill Scenic Trail. They had some very big and noisy geese on that farm that were quacking up a storm as I walked past on the rail trail.
