BirdTroutOpen the map How to get to the Independence River, New York
No site in New York's access file falls on the Independence River, so the way in is public ground and road crossings rather than a marked landing. 3 blocks of public land front the Independence River, and 7.1 of its 16.3 mapped miles run through them.

Ownership from PAD-US as the state publishes it. Where a block has its own page, the name links to it. The river miles are how far this river's drawn axis runs inside each block, measured here; the acreage is the whole unit's, most of which is nowhere near this water. "Restricted access" and "access unrecorded" are PAD-US's own words for the block, and neither one means open — check before you park.
