Black River Wildlife Management Area Access
The Black River Wildlife Management Area offers multiple access points for recreation along a 3,020-acre preserve in Chester Township, with primary parking at Pleasant Hill Road and additional lots off North Road and Ironia Road.
The area features a flat 4-5 mile trail system following an abandoned railroad bed suitable for hiking, biking, and horseback riding, with canoe access available to the Black River during warmer months; however, be aware that hunting seasons (particularly fall) significantly increase activity and require wearing blaze orange for safety.
