An off the beaten Wildlife Preserve that i passed by today. Turned around and went back to check it out. GREAT DESICION!Theres a very quiet peaceful vibe even despite being right off Rt 16.

Starr Rd is an easy and good hiking trail. Its a Wildlife Management Area so primarily hunting/fishing/trapping but plenty to explore. I went turkey hunting a few times and saw no one so its low traffic. A couple ponds that are well secluded but dont plan on scoring big for fishing as the animal predation keeps the population in check and there isnt a ton of spots to cast in from the shore; best bring a pack canoe or inflatable. The main entrance off Route 16 is mainly for accessing the large pond and if youre going to kayak/canoe, thats your spot. Ponds 1 & 2 are great to watch beavers, muskrat, birds etc. I havent gone duck hunting there yet but with the right wind, Im sure you could have some decent days. Heavy vegetation and not much in the way of topography so scouting is pretty key for deer as stalking is very difficult. Went hiking & fishing with my 11 & 8 year old, as well as our cousins around same age and they had a blast. Bring your thermacell and high concentration bug juice; that all natural garbage is useless.

I like exploring this area, off the beaten path. Lots of gunshots in the background from hunters. Make sure to wear your orange when you are out there. Dirt road to get there very rugged.
