Closure of Black Rock Forest during hunting season
<p>I presume that you are referring to Black Rock Mountain (not to Black Mountain, which is in Harriman). The entire Black Rock Forest is closed to hikers during hunting season, which begins on Saturday, November 16th.</p>

Black Rock hike
<p>We followed the directions to the parking area, coming from Route 9 southbound, and it worked fine.</p>
<p>We enjoyed this hike - not just Black Rock, but also the reflections of the sky and the fall foliage in the reservoir.</p>

Underpass beneath 9W
<p>You should be fine with a small SUV. I drove through with a RAV4 and there was ample space.</p>

There is alternative route for large SUVs
<p>If you have an SUV that won't fit through the underpass, there is an alternatve route. Just continue north on Route 9W to Angola Road. Get off at that exit, turn left and go over the overpass, crossing Route 9W, then turn left and proceed south on Route 9W. Continue for 1.5 miles and take the Reservoir Road exit. Turn right at the T-intersection, and you'll soon reach the parking area.</p>

Utterly Fantastic
<p>This hike through the best of Black Rock Forest offers one of my favorite views on the Hudson river. The humid trek was very worth it when we got to the view. A sight of great beauty. The sight was on par with Storm King Mountain. ***Reminder, take a small car because they mean it hen it is a small underpass. </p>
