Black River Wildlife Management Area Access
Black River Wildlife Management Area Access
Primary access to the Black River Wildlife Management Area is via Pleasant Hill Road in Chester, which offers parking and serves as the western trailhead for a 4-5 mile flat, multi-use trail following an abandoned railroad bed through wetlands and forests.
Additional parking is available off North Road (County Route 513) and Ironia Road; canoe access to the Black River for fishing is available during warmer months, though terrain and vegetation limit direct river access.
The area is heavily used during hunting seasons (fall through early spring), so visitors should wear blaze orange for safety.
