Thank you. I recently bought some property but it has no road. It butts up to a national forest I was wondering if a private person can get permission to go through the national forest to connect to a road for the property.

@wrathmaster Very unlikely. Most properties that are surrounded by naitonal forest do not actually have legal access for vehicular purposes.

What is the minimum acreage for it to be worth it for you guys to go out to?

Can you guys get permission to go through a national forest to gain access to a property?

[steinjosh1]

@wrathmaster On average, 40 acres of good timber would be needed to justify setting up an operation.  It is often possible to obtain permits to cross national forest to access the property.

I hope New Jersey Department of Fish and Game see this video!!!! As well as the Federal Gov't who owns Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.They should have been doing this for years.

Also have one more question. I recently bought some land but there is not a road to it.

It butts up to national forest land is there a way for a private person to get permission to connect it to a road a little above it?
