New York State Forests
Welcome to New York's Jenksville State Forest located in Tioga County. Like many New York State forests this was once agricultural land and was acquired by the State of New York during the Great Depression Era. Over the years nearly one million trees were planted in the reforestation efforts and today nearly 99% of the area is forested with oaks, pines, spruces, and cedars. For the recreational enthusiast Jenksville State Forest boasts over 12 miles of multipurpose trails for all seasons, great bird-watching, and more. Come out and explore.
New York State Law requires that when visiting any State Forest you must;
*Never move firewood! Doing so helps spread pests and diseases.
