List of New York wild forests



This is a list of wild forests in the state of New York. Lands designated as "wild forest" in New York are managed by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation as part of the Forest Preserve.

Management
Wild forests are intended to retain an essentially wild and natural character, however management facilitates a greater amount of recreational use than areas designated by the state as wilderness, which feature an increased sense of remoteness and solitude. Most are located within the boundaries of Adirondack Park or Catskill Park.
