Black River Wildlife Management Area Access

The Black River Wildlife Management Area provides multiple access points for paddling and fishing along the Lamington River (Black 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.

The area is heavily used during hunting season, so visitors should wear blaze orange and check seasonal restrictions before visiting.
