Frank E. Jadwin State Forest

Welcome to Frank E. Jadwin State Forest, one of New York's largest and most diverse State Forests. It protects a variety of habitats including wetlands and hardwood and conifer forests. It is named in memory of a man who was a forester to the Conservation Department for many years.

New York State Law requires that when visiting any State Forest you must;

*Never move firewood! Doing so helps spread pests and diseases.

*Never leave fires unattended. Please extenguish all fires upon your departure.

*Unless otherwise designated, all camping must be done with 150 feet of roads, trails, and bodies of water. Camping more than 3 consecutive nights requires special permit that can be obtained from the local forest ranger.

*All human excrement must be buried in holes no less than 6 inches deep.

*All motor vehicles must stay in designated areas.
