State Route 28 , Warrensburg, NY 12885(Warren County)

The property does not currently have an improved access from Route 28, but plenty of space exists to pull off on Route 28 and hike or ATV into the property. The property is zoned Rural Use by the Town of Chester, which is favorable for many rural activities. Hunting and fishing cabins less than 500 sq. ft. are allowed with a zoning permit from the Town of Chester.

Though the Hudson River frontage is steep, rocky and undeveloped, it is accessible for portaging a light canoe or kayak, fishing from the shoreline, picnicking or wading. The stretch of the upper Hudson is whitewater, which will provide for great adventures when it carries your canoe, kayak, raft or inter tube downstream. It is ~7 miles of Hudson River whitewater from this property to the confluence of the Schroon River, at the Thurman Bridge.

Decades of professional forest stewardship have promoted timber quality and diversity, as well as varied habitat for many wildlife species. There is an ample amount of white pine timber on the property. The parcel was last thinned ~10 years ago. The hemlock and pine trees offer important thermal cover for wintering deer, and the red oak trees contribute acorns as a critical food source for deer, bear, and turkey. There is a small wetland adjacent to the southern boundary and a forested wetland at the northeaster conrner of the property offering cover and a wildlife water source. There are favorable locations around the property to create wildlife food plots to enhance your hunting or wildlife viewing opportunities.

The property is under the Fisher 480 Forest Tax Law, which provides a handsome reduction in taxes, while being less burdensome than its 480a tax law successor. Property lines are marked with pink flagging, as well as more permanent blazes and paint, which follow old agricultural fencing an stone wall remains.

This region offers boating in nearby publicly accessible lakes (Loon, Brant and Schroon Lakes, Lake George); canoeing, kayaking, whitewater rafting on the Hudson and Sacandaga Rivers; and hiking, camping, and hunting on hundreds of thousands of acres on nearby State Land.
