The Ringwood Natural Area is one of the true jewels of the Finger Lakes Region. A total of 240 acres are open to archery, firearm, and muzzleloader hunting during the respective seasons. Lot #2 is roadside parking on Ringwood Road, on the Northwest corner of the intersection of Ringwood and Mineah and Midline roads (at this time the map below does not reflect this). Firearm hunting in this area is prohibited. Archery only hunting from Lot #2 is limited to areas east of Ringwood Road only.

Note that while the western sections of Ringwood (west of Ringwood Road) are within the the Deer Management Focus Area (DMFA), the DMFA does not extend to cover areas east of Ringwood Road, including Lot #2 off Midline Road. For a map of the DMFA and more information, visit the DEC DMFA website.

ATTENTION: Please help us track and monitor a newly discovered population of the invasive pest, Hemlock Wooly Adelgid (HWA), at this preserve.  Please keep an eye out for wooly masses along hemlock twigs (photo below). You can report sightings and learn more about HWA on our HWA Website.
