Hammond Hill State Forest is 3,697 acres and is a popular area for recreation. The 20-mile multiple-use trail system has been designed to offer family-based recreation for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, snowmobiling, and cross-county skiing. The forest was established between 1935 and 1950 in an effort to reduce soil erosion problems, produce forest products, and provide recreational opportunities. The Conservation Department (now DEC) planted this land with 708,000 pine, spruce, larch, maple, cherry, ash and oak seedlings between 1935 and 1940 using Civilian Conservation Corps labor.
