Description

Jay Mountain Wilderness - NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation

The Jay Mountain Wilderness is part of the Adirondack Forest Preserve. The wilderness lies within the towns of Jay and Lewis in Essex County in the northeast portion of the Adirondacks. It is the smallest designated wilderness in the Adirondack Park, comprised of a single 7,951-acre Forest Preserve parcel. Despite its relatively small size, the area demonstrates many of the Adirondacks’ distinguished characteristics and offers many recreational opportunities for visitors. Recreationally, this region is geared toward hikers and those wishing to hunt and trap. The area lacks developed campsites and trails, so many of its users tend to be those preferring to bush-whack or camp in the rough.
