The 613-acre Catlin State Forest has a limited amount of development. There are no designated recreation trails, however, deer paths and old farm lanes are available for exploring. Most of this forest will require significant walking to access. Today, Catlin and all state forests in New York are managed for multiple benefits to serve the needs of the people of New York. Sustainable management practices will ensure a perpetual supply of timber, a diversity of wildlife habitats, compatible recreational opportunities and clean water.
