Penn State Forest Access

Penn State Forest Access at Oswego Lake offers a sand parking lot and serves as a primary launch point for kayaking and canoeing the scenic Oswego River, one of the Pine Barrens' most pristine waterways.

The location provides access to miles of sand roads through diverse forest habitats and is open dawn to dusk; during hunting season (October-January), blaze orange clothing is recommended.

A forest map is available at the Bass River State Forest office, and the site features basic amenities including restrooms and picnic facilities.
