The Black River Wildlife Management Area offers multiple access points for paddling and fishing along a six-mile stretch of the Black River (known as the Lamington River downstream), with primary parking at Pleasant Hill Road and additional lots off North Road and Ironia Road.

The area features a flat, multi-use trail system following an abandoned railroad bed that provides foot access to riparian zones, though canoe access to trout-stocked river sections is limited and primarily feasible during warmer months; visitors should note heavy hunting activity during fall seasons and plan accordingly.
