The Black River Wildlife Management Area offers multiple access points for paddling and fishing along the Lamington River, with primary parking at Pleasant Hill Road and additional lots off North Road and Ironia Road.

The area features a 5-mile flat trail along an abandoned railroad bed suitable for various users, though canoe access to the river's six-mile stretch is limited by terrain and vegetation.

Visitors should be aware that the area is heavily used during hunting season and should wear blaze orange for safety.
