With around {{convert|30|mi|km|abbr=on}} of multiple-use trails, the area is managed for environmental protection, recreation, and timber harvesting. The {{convert|6.5|acre|abbr=on|adj=on}} Barrett Pond is located within the state forest on the west side of Columbia County Route 5, and was home to numerous fish species when last sampled in 1983.[2] The defunct Beebe Hill Fire Tower is located on the summit of Beebe Hill at an elevation of {{convert|1726|ft|m|abbr=on}}.[3] Initially constructed in 1928 on Alander Mountain in Massachusetts, the tower was moved to Washburn Mountain in Columbia County in 1933, and finally to Beebe Hill in 1964. It remained in operation until 1987.[2] In 1997, local residents, the Forest Fire Lookout Association, and the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation began efforts to restore the fire tower and establish access through a network of hiking trails.[4] Along the main trail near the fire tower, a lean-to shelter is available for public use.[2] References1. ^{{cite web | url=http://austerlitzny.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/COMP_PLAv9.9.pdf | title=TOWN OF AUSTERLITZ Comprehensive Plan | publisher=Town of Austerlitz, New York | date=September 9, 2004 | accessdate=April 17, 2017}} 2. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Beebe Hill & Harvey Mt.
