North Lake Reservoir Camping 🏕

16 1/2 miles and 30 miles north of Forestport, the North Lake Reservoir serves as the headwaters to the Black River in a large reservoir maintained by the NYS Canal Authority for supplying a steady supply of water to Black River and Erie Canal via the former Black River Canal. Half of sites are on Black River Wild Forest, while most of the northernly sites are on a conservation easement. There is a sign-on booth for these campsites, permits are needed for stays over three nights. These are primitive campsites, though some of the sites along the eastern side, are accessible by a vehicle with a smaller camper on top. Boats with motors are allowed on this lake, so in summer months it may be not a quiet water. Most sites are on the water.
