New York State Forests
Welcome to Brookfield Railroad State Forest located in Madison County New York. This forest is named after a railroad spur that was attempted to be built in the late 19th century and the grade was almost finished until the project ran out of money. Not a single track was ever laid but today there is still evidence of the grade that was dug. For the human visitor Brookfield Railroad State Forest boasts multipurpose trails including a section of the Brookfield trail system, notable for equestrian activity.
New York State Law requires that when visiting any State Forest you must;
