Klondike State Forest

Welcome to New York's Klondike State Forest, one of the many forest lands that was previously used for agriculture and eventually purchased by the State of New York. Today it is a lush hardwood forest preserve.

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

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

*No littering! Please carry out whatever you carry in.

*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.

*No building of structures or cutting of vegetation.

Please respect these laws and New York's forests.
