West Mountain State Forest

West Mountain State Forest was acquired in 1999 as a gift to the State of New York. Consisting of 830 acres in the towns of Beekman and Dover, this area has rolling topography, wetlands and streams. Although no formal trails have been marked out, there are many informal trails, a good topographic map or GPS unit would be helpful. The pond near the center of the state forest is currently only foot traffic accessible, the road to it is privately owned and there is no public access.
