The property is completely wooded with a mix of hard maple, soft maple, cherry, beech, birch and other species. A recent timber harvest has opened the canopy up allowing for new growth that the deer are finding very attractive. The result of the harvest is network of trails that are ideal for hunting, hiking and ATV'ing.
All roads were bulldozed properly and look great, making it easy to get around this property. The deer are utilizing the roads as their primary corridor for browsing the new growth there also deer trails, rubs, and scrapes throughout the property. The bonus here is that you only need to just step across the road to thousands of acres of the Boutwell Hill State Forest!
Here you can hike, hunt, camp, cross-country ski on the developed trail system and even bring your horses to ride the equestrian trail system! The area snowmobile trail system is directly across the road too! Clear Creek is a full-time flowing stream that passes through the property near Cleland Road.
NYS DEC stocks brown trout in Clear Creek annually in nearby downstream locations. There are multiple locations on Swanson Road for your future camp or even to just park a camper. The log landing location near the snowplow turnaround is an easy spot to pull a camper onto or to expand for a nice, quiet spot for your camp. By cutting a few more trees, you can also open up a view down the valley if desired too. The Seller is transferring all oil, gas, mineral and timber rights owned to the next owner.
