Bucks Brook State Forest

Bucks Brook State Forest offers primitive camping and hiking along a scenic gorge featuring a series of small waterfalls, with access via Bucks Brook Road and Ridge Road (both dirt roads plowed in winter).

The Finger Lakes Trail traverses the forest, and several primitive tent sites are available along the trail near the brook source, though campsites must be at least 150 feet from water and roads with no facilities provided.

The nearby Otselic River along Route 26 offers accessible trout fishing opportunities with multiple DEC parking areas.
