DeRuyter State Forest
About
DeRuyter State Forest spans 972 acres of quiet woods in Madison County, with trails set aside for horses, carriages and snowmobiles. It is the kind of place where a morning walk comes with bird song and very little else, and where the trails can feel like a private retreat.
A section of the North Country National Scenic Trail runs through the forest, offering unmarked hiking and winter exploration. The forest is open to anyone who likes to wander, and each season brings a different reason to visit, from spring birding to snowmobile season.
