Popple Pond State Forest encompasses 2,461 acres and offers primitive camping and recreational opportunities including canoeing/kayaking on the 8-acre Popple Pond, though access is limited and lightweight canoes/kayaks are recommended due to minimal infrastructure.

The property features several trout streams (Cropsey Creek, North Branch of Cummings Creek, and Long Lake Outlet) accessible for fishing, along with 9. 44 miles of unpaved forest access roads and snowmobile trails suitable for hiking.

Primitive camping is permitted with campsites required to be at least 150 feet from roads, trails, or water bodies.
