Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Black River State Forest adventure.
Discover the natural splendor of Black River State Forest.
Wake up, canoe down the Black River to primitive campsite, stalk a wild turkey. After successful hunt, ride ATV or bicycle for funsies. Break out mom’s famous potato salad for dinner, hope to catch a glimpse of the endangered Karner blue butterfly, watch sun go down over the sandstone buttes and call it a night. Voila: Black River State Forest!
The best times to visit Black River State Forest are during the spring and fall when the weather is mild and the natural scenery is at its peak. Summer offers a full bloom of activities, but be prepared for more visitors and warmer temperatures. Winter transforms the forest into a snowy wonderland, ideal for skiing, though some amenities may be less accessible. Avoid peak holiday weekends for a more tranquil experience.
