Charles Baker State Forest

Charles Baker State Forest is named after the first District Forester who administered it. This property totals over 9,400 acres in southeast Madison County and makes up the core area for the Brookfield Trail System. This highly acclaimed horse and snowmobile trail system has over 130 miles of trails set throughout three state forests (Charles Baker State Forest, Brookfield Railroad State Forest, and Beaver Creek State Forest) that make up the Brookfield unit management area. These three forests collectively provide 13,750 acres of public reforestation lands for multiple recreation purposes.

Night one on my way out to the Finger Lakes, at the Cherry Ridge Camping Area in Brookfield. Just a place to stay overnight not too far from US 20, two hours west of Albany. Big thunderstorm rolled through after setting up dinner and camp.⚑ Hanging out in the truck cap, hoping the rain won’t last, so I can restart the fire. πŸ’¦Montezuma then the Finger Lakes tomorrow.🐦
