The Black River gorge, woodlands, and trails provide a great escape for walkers and anglers.

The freshwater Black River briskly cuts its way through rocky Hacklebarney State Park, cascading around boulders in the hemlock-lined ravine. Two tributaries, Rinehart and Trout Brooks, also course their way through this glacial valley, feeding the Black River. The Black River gorge provides anglers and hikers a respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life.

In the 19th century, this area was an iron ore mine site, but today Hacklebarney is a favorite place for avid anglers and hikers. The gushing river against the grey boulders and dark green hemlocks creates a majestic beauty in any season.
