Forest & Farm Retreats at Wildwood Hills

3 sites · Tents156 acres · Colton, NY
Here you will be on over 150 acres of private land with hiking trails which meander through beautiful forests full of wildlife, lovely ferns and rare flowers. Natural sights our wonderful land here offers include tumbling streams, sheer rock ledges, beaver ponds where you may see the beavers or wild ducks or geese who nest there, and in the farther back “bear country” you might be lucky enough to get a peek of the resident flying squirrels! You can hike the hills and rocky ridges of the Cobbles and see the Adirondack foothills, a brilliant sunset or sunrise for the earlybirds. You can take our hiking trails to 1000s acres Public Land that borders our property and follow the trails there to Stone Valley and the Raquette River in Colton. This makes for miles of trails! The Raquette River Blue Corridor is known for hiking trails that follow the river and for excellent white-water kayaking opportunities at Stone Valley. Colton, NY has townwide treatments for Blackflies. It is a natural biocontrol method that uses another organism (BTi) to kill only Blackfly larvae in waterways. It really works! We only ever get a few (literally) Blackflies between routine treatments if it is a bad season. During your stay here you will not have the usual clouds of Blackflies hovering around your head! But you will still see amazing numbers of dragonflies! We work a small organic farm at the front of our land where we grow vegetables and herbs, raise pigs and lots of birds- chickens, guinea hens, ducks and geese. You can view the field of our young orchard and vineyard with its wildflowers and butterflies as you park and head back into the woods. Many times our twin horses will be pastured in this field as well. Stop by the farmstand for our current seasonal offerings and to check out its gorgeous timber-frame construction lovingly hand-crafted by Derrick from timbers sawn and cut from our forests and pegged together with antique carved oak pegs. If you are interested in learning more on a tour of our sawmill, gardens, animals, and other farm operations, we encourage you to contact us to schedule one during your stay. We offer the services of our canoes for 1-4 people, message us if you would like us to paddle with you out on the nearby river or some very special bog ponds. Derrick has led offroad bike rides on little known trails in the area and welcomes inquiries from any dual-sport/dirtbike riders, singly or groups. We love to teach folks a little of what we have learned on the farm, in the woods and in our studies, but first we need to arrange for the free time, so let us know if interested in hearing about building portable pig huts with living roofs, timber framing the old way, forestry and woodcraft, our menagerie, and other efforts to make the dream of sustainable living a reality. At WildWood Hills Farm and Retreats, we are diversity inclusive and strive to ensure a safe and pleasant environment for all. We respect all our guests and expect them to respect each other, us and the Land in kind. Go in Nature! ~ E & D

Waddington's Leishman Point

4 sites · RVs, Tents25 acres · Waddington, NY
Leishman point is owned by the Town of Waddington and was created during the construction of the St. Lawrence Seaway. Dredge spoils were transported and placed creating a tract of land that rises 50 feet above the river and surrounding lands. The New York Power Authority acquired the property from the Leishman's who owned and operated a farm on the surrounding lands. In 2000, the New York Power Authority deemed the property surplus and conveyed it to the Town of Waddington. This Hip-Camp endeavor is hopefully our first step in creating a fully functional RV Park and campsite for everyone to enjoy. Visit the Town of Waddington Museum at the Old Town Hall for more information on the construction of the the St. Lawrence Seaway and how it transformed Waddington. Learn more about this land: Park your RV or camper trailer or pitch your tent on top of Leishman Point in Waddington, New York and enjoy the unobstructed views of, and unlimited access to the majestic St. Lawrence River. The Waddington public beach is adjacent to the campsite with swimming, playground, and pavilion for all to enjoy. Bring your boat and safely moor it at the public docks at the beach. Watch the Great Lake freighters and recreational boats ply the waters of the St. Lawrence River whiling fishing, swimming, sun bathing, or just relaxing by the River.

The best camping near Cedar Island State Park guide

Overview

About

One of several state parks in the St. Lawrence River watershed; Cedar Island sets itself apart with distinguishing and unique features. Shall we elaborate? You can only get to Cedar Island via water--canoe, kayak, or something contraption with a motor that floats. The docks where you can park your rig are also are popular among fishermen trying to get into deeper water--where the big biters are! Being one of the oldest parks in the region, it is a bit more rustic and… lets just say, ”down to earth.” The shores of the island are the stuff that killer photos are made of, definitely set your alarm to catch the sunrise and sunset when you stay at Cedar Island!
