Black River Wildlife Management Area Access
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) in Chester Township, with parking available at the main trailhead and additional lots near the ranges and along Ironia Road.
The area features a flat, multi-use trail system following an abandoned railroad bed suitable for hiking, biking, and equestrian use, with canoe access to the Black River available during warmer months, though fishing access is limited primarily to canoe-based exploration.
The area is heavily used during hunting season, so visitors should be aware of seasonal closures and wear blaze orange for safety.
