Black River Wildlife Management Area Access

The Black River Wildlife Management Area offers multiple access points via Pleasant Hill Road and North Road (County Route 513) with parking available for hiking and paddling activities.

The area features a converted railroad bed trail suitable for foot traffic and provides canoe access to the Black River, though paddlers should note the river diffuses into multiple channels through the marsh and daylight is essential for navigation.

Primary recreational activities include hiking along the Patriot's Path trail system, fishing in stocked sections, and seasonal hunting.
