Black River Country

Pine forest, a clear-water lake in an old quarry, and a brewery town: the northern half of the region's public land.

Jackson County is mostly forest, and the Black River State Forest is the way into it. Pair the forest with the lake at Wazee and the county museum, then finish downtown.
