Black River Wild Forest — Attraction in Town of Ohio

Nestled in the western Adirondacks of New York State, the Black River Wild Forest is a vast and scenic playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Spanning over 120,000 acres, it offers an exceptional mix of wild tranquility and accessible adventure, making it an ideal destination for photographers, hikers, and paddlers alike.

The landscape here is remarkably diverse — rolling hills, serene lakes, deep forests, and stretches of the Black River itself, winding gracefully through the wilderness. The area is dotted with over a dozen ponds and small lakes, including Chub Pond, Woodhull Lake, and Nicks Lake, all of which provide stunning reflections and opportunities for early-morning photography.

For photographers, this forest is about mood and texture — the interplay of mist, light, and water. In autumn, the foliage ignites in brilliant reds and golds, while winter transforms the region into a snow-laden haven for snowshoeing and cross-country skiing.

The trail network offers something for every level, from the short and photogenic Nicks Lake Loop to the more challenging routes leading toward Remsen Falls or Woodhull Mountain Fire Tower, which rewards hikers with panoramic views stretching across the Adirondack wilderness.

Wildlife is abundant — deer, beavers, loons, and occasionally black bears make appearances, adding life to any photographic journey. The calm waters and dense forest textures are perfect for long-exposure photography or drone shots that highlight the forest’s vastness and symmetry.

Whether you’re setting up a tent near the lakes, capturing the delicate light filtering through the trees, or kayaking at sunrise, Black River Wild Forest embodies the essence of untouched nature — peaceful, raw, and...

I grew up playing and fishing under this bridge! Now I bring my girls here to play. When I was young, we we're able to go barefoot without too much worry. Now however, people have taken to throwing beer bottles and garbage off the bridge and leave garbage and rusty fish hooks on the shore. Still a beautiful place to explore! You could walk from one side of the river across to the other with ease, usually the water doesn't get up past your knees. It's been awhile since I went swimming under the bridge (I actually learned how to swim, right under Harvey bridge!!) It used to be about 4-5ft deep. Not sure if it's still like that! I always had luck...
