New York State Forests
Welcome to New York's Oakley Corners State Forest located in Tioga County. Up until around the depression era most of this land was used for farming and the forests were depleted. With the help of the Civilian Conservation Corps over 800,000 trees were seeded in the years following. Today the soils are rich in nutrients and the forest lush with spruces, cedars, and many other trees. The human visitor can come enjoy the forests miles of multipurpose trails (equestrian and snowmobile prohibited) in all seasons, enjoy great bird-watching, cast out a line for fishing, and do much more. Come out and explore.
