According to the agency website: "With a MAPPWD permit (http://www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/34038.html), persons with disabilities can drive to the Remsen Falls picnic site or it may be accessed on foot by others. An accessible parking space and privy are located here, connected by a trail suitable for use with mobility devices, to an accessible picnic table located in a very wild setting on the shore of the Moose River, a short distance from the falls, in Black River Wild Forest.
Directions:
State Route 28 in Herkimer County. Turn east off route 28 into McKeever. Look for the small sign "access to state land" and the dirt lane (cross the railroad tracks) to the trail head. Be sure to sign in at the register. Take the Wolf Lake Landing Road for 3 miles to the sign pointing left to Remsen Falls. This is a MAPPWD road (motor vehicle access by permit only) with a locked gated. Permit holders can call the Herkimer DEC office (315-866-6330) and get the lock combination. Call ahead to confirm the combination before each planned trip, as it changes. The road from Wolf Lake Landing Road to the Remsen Falls parking is best suited to truck and SUV travel. It is narrow and also rough in a few spots. The road is about one-half mile long to an accessible parking area."
