Fort Drum Tri-County Wilderness
NYS forest land adjacent to Fort Drum Army Reservation for sale: This property is fully wooded with a diverse mix of hardwood and softwood tree species, predominately; sugar and red maple, yellow birch, black cherry, white ash, red & white oak, beech, hemlock, red spruce and white pine. There is a small stream that traverses the property through a wet meadow, its flow halted by beavers to form a small pond, a suitable rest stop for migrating waterfowl both spring and fall. Smaller wet drainages are found in pockets amid bedrock outcrops across the rolling terrain found here. A timber harvest was conducted on the property in 2015. The harvest resulted in an abundance of new tree seedlings and berry bushes, that provide nutritional staples for deer, bear, turkey and grouse, as well as numerous non-game species and song birds.

There is a small stream that traverses the property through a wet meadow, its flow halted by beavers to form a small pond, a suitable rest stop for migrating waterfowl both spring and fall. Smaller wet drainages are found in pockets amid bedrock outcrops across the rolling terrain found here. A timber harvest was conducted on the property in 2015. The harvest resulted in an abundance of new tree seedlings and berry bushes, that provide nutritional staples for deer, bear, turkey and grouse, as well as numerous non-game species and song birds. Areas in which almost all trees are removed are considered ‘natural food plots’, a management strategy used by forest land owners that hunt to increase the food resources on their property and ultimately improve the likelihood of a successful hunt. The groomed and mowed skid trails which run the full length of the property, make game removal with ATV’s much less difficult and nature hikes a lot more enjoyable.Constructing a dwelling on the property might be the icing on the cake to truly enjoying all this property and area have to offer. The staging area used during the timber harvest, just 100 yards or so from the year ‘round road, would make an excellent site for a seasonal camp, log cabin, or full-time residence. Electric and cable phone utilities are available roadside.The most unique characteristic of this property may be its proximity to the 67,000 acres of the US Army’s Fort Drum Base, which surrounds it on three sides. Recreational use of 'open' areas on Fort Drum are free! Recreational Passes (available on line) allow holders to hunt, fish, hike, boat and explore the vast wilderness found here. What a wonderful asset to have next door! A Recreational Use Map and Guide, plus an Angling Brochure are found below this description.Other popular destinations less than an hour’s drive away include; the St. Lawrence River, the Adirondacks, Lake Ontario and Canada. You might find this to be the best recreational investment you ever made for you and your family!
