Onteora Scout Reservation provides access to trails in the Willowemoc Wild Forest , which is part of the NYS Catskill Forest Preserve . The NYS Dept. of Environmental Conservation has rules governing hiking and camping on state lands; please review before planning an extended trip from the camp onto state lands and trails, and pay note to the advisory on the use of bear canisters. Individuals and units are solely responsible to review and observe all DEC regulations when they are hiking or camping on state land. During the winter months, temperatures at the camp will be very cold and snow is expected in December, January, February, and March. Troops and crews should review cold weather camping procedures and precautions before arriving at camp.
