Woodhull Lake – A Place to Visit Again

|

I was thinking the other day it’s been six years since I’ve last been out to Woodhull Lake in the Black River Wild Forest It’s a nice, mostly wilderness reservoir that is accessible most of the way by a one lane gravel road.

Roadside Camping at Site 5

There are several roadside campsites along the two mile road, mostly very rustic and somewhat overgrown as they are lightly used.

Wolf Lake Landing Road

The lake is quiet, especially on weekdays, and often very placid and quite clear.

Later in Evening On Lake

There is a nice lean-to at Wolf Landing.

And it’s a nice hike back to Remsen Falls on Moose River.

The Falls

Good fishing on the reservoir, and you might even spot a deer or two.

Doe and Fawn on Lake

I’m thinking of getting back up there again this summer..
