Blackwater River State Forest: Wilderness Landing

Wilderness Landing, at Blackwater River State Forest, is a backcountry experience like no other. From Highway 4 in Baker, take Barton Road to Corduroy, then left again on Wilderness Landing Road. You’ll be rewarded with some wonderful and challenging hiking trails, as well as a boat ramp right on Blackwater River. There’s a small beach for tubing or splashing in the sun. If you’re RVing and into boondocking, this is an ideal spot with good amenities, including hot showers, nice bathrooms and running water. For a full- or part-day adventure, check out Blackwater Joe’s. These pro paddlers offer both canoe and tube rentals, as well as cabins and camping for a magical overnight experience.
