Trail Overview

Plumbottom State Forest totals 1,666 acres. The main road is a fun, slow drive with scenic views. The road is rocky and has some ruts due to rain runoff. At the end, there is a turnaround with group parking/camping. Found a small lake with a few beaver lodges. The forest provides opportunities for outdoor recreational activities like hiking, snowmobiling, camping, horseback riding, and hunting. It is also a source of raw material for New York's forest products industry, which provides employment and income for many New Yorkers. It provides habitat for wildlife species such as deer, rabbit, grouse, and turkey. Always check with DEC on rules and regulations for motorized and camping use. https://dec.ny.gov/places/plumbottom-state-forest
