Black Rock Forest closes to hikers for part of the deer season, including that portion of the Highlands Trail in the Forest. For details, call 914-534-4517.

Schunemunk is open and hunting is not allowed on OSI (former Mountainville Conservancy) lands, but, again, we advise extra caution in that area.

Hubbard-Perkins obeys the same rules as Fahnestock (archery only) but has a long history of hunting so use extra caution. Limited hunting is allowed on the private inholding (parts of the Perkins Trail).
