Never Far

0.86 mi — the deepest you can get

The Athens Unit is a 197,000-acre proclamation boundary holding about 70,000 acres of actual National Forest, cut into 60 separate tracts and threaded by township roads. Stand anywhere inside it and the nearest road is under a mile away. Pick what counts as access, hover for the distance anywhere, search a place, or click the map to see what you are standing on.

For scale: the same measurement in the Adirondack Park tops out at 3.72 mi — that map is here.
