Bald Eagle State Forest, Clinton County, on Riansares Mountain. The goal of my hike was finding and exploring a 10- to 13-acre tract of old-growth hemlocks on the talus-covered north slope of the mountain. The tract is little known, not well documented, and (unlike many other state forest old-growth sites) not protected as a natural or wild area. I found the tract using a satellite map, the description from the Clinton County Natural Heritage Inventory, and the historical description from the Proceedings of State Foresters’ Conference (published in 1922). The trees are just north of the fire tower site and easily accessed via a short bushwhack from either Riansares Mountain Road or the blue-blazed Winter Trail. No trails traverse the tract itself. About a dozen of the largest trees have thin sheets of metal nailed into, and wrapped around, their trunks. The forest (mostly hemlocks, with scattered chestnut oaks, red oaks, sweet birches, and white pines) resembles that of the Joyce Kilmer Natural Area and the Mount Logan Natural Area—nearby old-growth sites where the trees grow from mossy, duff-covered talus slopes.
