Trail Map of Sterling Forest
Our newest State Park is Sterling ForestŪ State Park, 15,280
acres of nearly pristine natural refuge in the midst of one of
the nation's most densely populated areas, a remarkable piece of
woodland, a watershed for millions, and a tremendous outdoor
recreation area. This unbroken deep-forest habitat is important
for the survival of many resident and migratory species,
including black bear, a variety of hawks and songbirds and many
rare invertebrates and plants. Hunting, fishing and hiking
opportunities are available. As part of the recent purchase,
approximately 1,400 acres has been set aside as the Doris Duke
Wildlife Sanctuary to be enjoyed as passive recreation.
Hunting by permit only.
