Rules for watershed visitation

If you plan on visiting the watershed, please be aware that there is no longer a permit system. Most of the property surrounding Hemlock and Canadice Lakes is now owned by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) and is known as the Hemlock-Canadice State Forest. 

Activities in the Hemlock-Canadice State Forest are now subject to the NYSDEC's Rules and Regulations for the Use of State Lands.
