Since 1900, the emphasis has been hardwood sawlog and pulpwood production. The Forest Service acquired this part of the National Forest in the 1930s. This strategy emphasizes preservation and protection of wild values, maintenance of wildlife habitat, and opportunities for backwoods recreational experiences. Logs and pulpwood are provided to local timber markets as a by-product of some management practices. Whether you prefer a steep hike to a mountaintop view or a quiet stroll through the woods to a remote meadow, White Rocks NRA has the trail for you.
Trails vary in difficulty and length.
These trails, maintained with the Green Mountain Club, include 7 shelters and 2 group campsites. Secondary trials, including day hikes and loops, abound. Remember, vehicles, mountain bikes, horses, and llama packing are only allowed on forest roads open to motorized use and not on trails. Winter opportunities include cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, and snowshoeing. View the woods in the winter on Corridor 7, a trail winding from FR58 to destinations farther north.
