Punkeyville State Forest is a 518-acre property offering primitive camping and hiking access to the Black River, which has approximately 0.

75 miles of frontage stocked with brook trout; however, river access is difficult due to surrounding wetlands, with a public fishing stream parking area located nearby on West River Road.

The forest allows multiple recreational uses including hiking on unnamed haul roads, primitive camping (150+ feet from water/trails), hunting, trapping, snowmobiling, and wildlife viewing, though there are no officially maintained parking areas or developed trail infrastructure on the property itself.
