Pittstown State Forest

Pittstown State Forest is 1155 acres just a little North of Grafton Lakes State park and connects to it by several routes. Access to it is from dirt roads which can get muddy in the spring but are generally well maintained and plowed a little past the entrance in the winter.

The main trail is the State Fire Lane which can be driven on for most of its length except in winter. There are many places to pull off and park. There are several trails to the North which hook up with snowmobile trails that extend outside of the park boundaries.

To connect to Grafton you can take the Old Ward Hollow Road a little less than a mile from the main entrance. This crosses private land and is closed for hunting season from September 1st through December 31st.

You can also go to the end of the fire lane, walk a short distance on Kings Road to Old North Long Pond Road and south to Grafton.
