About
Black River is a small town (more of a neighborhood, really) with a chipper vibe, just off the south side of Fort Drum. Being so close to Fort Drum, some residents feel the town is an extension of the base, and the proximity allows military families easy access to the facilities and activities on Fort Drum with the flexibility of off-post accommodations.
There is a well-regarded library in this small town as well as trails for walking and running—the Black River Trail is especially popular and terminates in town. Stewart’s, a high-end gas station, is a favorite local spot and sells everything from yummy meatballs to delicious ice cream!
Neighbors
Black River is a good spot for families and has a large military population.
Neighborhood Feel
There is some new construction but many houses date back to the 1800s. There are no specific subdivisions, and architectural styles vary.
