West Fork Forest Access is a 204-acre wildlife area located between Shell Rock and New Hartford with a small earthen boat ramp for launching small boats and canoes, though canoeing may be difficult due to fallen trees in the water.

Primitive camping is allowed, but no water or restroom facilities are available. The area is dotted with potholes offering early-season waterfowl hunting opportunities alongside abundant swamp white oak and pine/cedar plantings.
