Small, don't blink you'll miss it.

There are only 3 spots where we are. No motor vehicles beyond where I'm camping. Bring everything with you. It's a hike back to town... there is a small town 10 minutes away. Eldred, NY. Really is a nice quiet place. It's Labor Day weekend, see how many people try to cram in to the very limited camping area. Where I originally camped was not a spot, according to Ranger. Had to move next to the lake. Need a permit on NY state land. Contact Rangers office of whatever county.

Siteonly one on the left across from the lake.

Beautiful but buggy lakeside tent sites

I drove in thinking that there would be flat places to park a very rugged camper in my full ton diesel pickup. The road is very rough with huge potholes so good clearance is a must. It's not a good spot for car camping but you could conceivably drive up to the spots and pull off the road to put up a small tent somewhere. Very gorgeous but not rv friendly.

What activities are available at Hickok Brook Multiple Use Area?

While specific amenities are limited, the multiple use designation suggests opportunities for various outdoor activities like wildlife viewing and photography in the surrounding wilderness.

Are there photos of Hickok Brook Multiple Use Area to view before visiting?
