Just spent the last 2-3 hours riding along with you in several NY videos, what a treat! My kind of places! Glad you knew where we were going and were doing the driving! I live in NE Ohio and love these out of the way places. Thank you.
We will be back up there in July. Probably the videos won't come until August, but I love the area and the knowledge of the area!! Ride along with me anytime Joyce !!
OMG! I grew up in Syracuse,that whole area was are play ground! What memories to see this. I moved to Florida 30 years ago. I Desperately miss this place. one night with two friends in my CJ7 Jeep in February I drove all the way in to Spruce Pond they where freaking out! Thought we would get stuck. Was a full moon no snow on the pond we would run down the hill and hit the ice and just SAIL! Across the pond sounds like a Beer Commercial. Priceless! And we drove back out just fine, nobody believed us that we drove all the way back in there since they do not plow it. Thanks new Subscriber look forward to more memory lane footage.
There are a few of the area..LOL I think I did 35 videos of the area. lived in "The Valley" 25 Years and Fayetteville 22yrs. Enjoy !! Thanks for the comment.
Where is here? In the US, state parks are extremely safe! And regular camper are out to relax and be friendly. Everyone is eagar to help anyone in need. Its a great way to relax and enjoy.
The first time I went there all the roads were more stream beds than roads. My mother swore she would never take us there again. We ended up going almost 3x a yr for about 10 years
I live upstate, over the past ten years bears have been expanding their range in the state. Bears have been seen in Buffalo suburbs. One bear was hit by a car and killed when it was walking down a road just a couple of miles from downtown Buffalo. So you never know.
The Forest area is criss-crossed with roads. Shackham Rd and Herlihy rds Cross in the Middle. Town of Fabius. The Morgan Hill rd is the road up to the old Fire tower site which seems to be a popular camping area. Or if you go Herlihy rd, there is a fish pond and camping there, but you are supposed to get a permit to camp there. You can call the NY DEC and I think they will give a permit over the phone. (607) 753-3095 Just ask for a Spruce ponds camping permit in Morgan Hill State Forest.

Shhhhh! This is all guarded secrets! If you tell everyone, itll no longer be a quiet hide away.
Totally agree!!
May I have your opinion of whether a middle-aged woman can be safe tent camping alone here?

@Ben Grimm The nearest bears were about 200miles away...lol
Nice place I have been camping there for years!

Checked this area out today. Definitely will get back there to camp.
There used to be a Fire Tower at the top, too bad they took it down. It had a great view ! Hope you enjoy ! Thanks for the comment !
Quiet and humbling
