Description

The trails in Glenmeal State Forest are designed with winter non-motorized use in mind, but they can also be used by hiker or mountain bikers. In winter they can be snowshoed or skied, and are geared towards beginner and intermediate users. The network starts as a single trail from the parking area that connects to a public forest access road. Several marked loops branch off from several points along the forest road.

Other Information

Hunting and primitive camping are both allowed in Glenmeal State Forest; see the DEC website for more information.
