Camping
There are four camping areas within the Logue Brook Dam zone. Only one of these is open all year round, the other three are seasonal only, (open during peak periods as overflow). Currently none of the camp sites has designated bays. Logue Brook Dam has a number of picnic sites as well as camping and access for water-skiing, boating and fishing. Water-skiing is the prime reason for visiting Logue Brook Dam, however there are many forest tracks to walk and explore.
- The forest comes alive in wildflower season.
- Best time to visit: All year round.
- Unlicensed off-road vehicles are not permitted on DEC-managed lands.
