Park Road, south from Ball Road, leads to the smaller tract, which lies about a tenth of a mile northeast of the main property.

Turkey hunters should consider Boutwell Hill State Forest as an adjunct to Canadaway, as it is located just a mile to the south. This property contains 2,944 acres that extend for about five miles on a north-south axis down to county routes 66 and 85.

It will take some scouting to effectively hunt Boutwell Hill, since on a map, the boundaries resemble pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. Access is via Lewis Road, Boutwell Hill Road, East Road and Sanford Road.

HANGING BOG WMA
Comprised of rolling hills covered with extensive forestlands and marshes, Hanging Bog WMA is named for a unique wetland created by a retreating glacier.

The WMA encompasses 4,571 acres that have been managed by the DEC for wildlife since 1962. Major practices have included establishing and thinning conifer plantations, selective and clear-cutting of hardwood forests, cropland leasing, planting food plots and cover shrubs, and developing small marshes, ponds and potholes.

Located in the town of New Hudson in Allegany County, Hanging Bog WMA is about a mile south of Rushford Lake and north of the hamlet of Black Creek, which is on Route 305. Several local roads provide access including New Hudson Road, Federal Road, Rush Creek Road and Punky Hollow Road.

Two state forests are attached to Hanging Bog WMA and greatly enhance the turkey-hunting potential there. Crab Hollow State Forest on the west side contributes 1,154 acres, and Rush Creek State Forest on the northeast corner adds 1,404 acres. The combination of state lands open to public hunting totals 7,129 acres.

Crab Hollow Road is the best access for that forest tract, but Mt. Monroe Road and White Meeting House Road also provide access.

Russell Forest Road off Rush Creek Road runs through Rush Creek State Forest.
