Much of the state forest land in the Catskills was once farmland and this area was no exception. This is the Burnt-Rossman State Forest with just over 10,000 acres. New York State acquired most of these lands in the early 20th century.
An old cemetery that we found just off the main trail
This was a man made cut stone water “reservoir” used to hold water to battle fires in the fields and forests.
The trail through the woods
The pond
A stone sap arch. I am not sure what a sap arch is … yet.
Stone wall … they are everywhere in these forrsts
We found what we think is the foundation of an old grist mill
Neat waterfall just down the creek from the foundation
More stone wall
More views of the foundation
