158 black river canal road

Tucked among mature woodlands on 2.3 private acres within the Adirondack Park, this 1,710 sq ft waterfront retreat offers direct frontage along a wide, scenic stretch of the Black River — a rare pairing of seclusion, acreage, and natural beauty that’s genuinely hard to find. Inside, three bedrooms, two full baths, a cozy fireplace, and an attached garage make for a comfortable, functional layout — equally suited to year-round living or a four-season escape. Step outside and the river is right there: fish from the bank, launch a kayak, or simply sit and watch the water move. Just tenths of a mile away, a nearby pond and the historic Black River Feeder Canal offer ideal conditions for canoeing, the nearby pond is ideal for kayaking and paddleboarding, and the Forestport Dam is visible right from the property. When snow flies, this place earns its keep. A groomed snowmobile trail runs directly from the driveway into an 11-mile corridor linking Forestport to Erwin Park in Boonville — with onward connections to Old Forge and the Tug Hill Plateau. Come spring, that same trail welcomes hikers, bikers, and trail runners. Add over 120,000 acres of Black River Wild Forest just beyond the doorstep, and the recreational access here is genuinely exceptional. Private riverside sanctuary or Adirondack base camp — 158 Black River Canal Road delivers both.
