The 13,229 acre Watsons East Triangle Wild Forest is bounded on the west by the Adirondack Park Blue Line, on the east by the Five Ponds and Pepperbox Wilderness Areas, on the north by the Aldrich Pond Wild Forest and on the south by the Beaver River, with the exception of a portion of the Croghan Tract easement which extends south of the river.

The Watson's East Triangle Wild Forest Unit is located on the western edge of the Adirondack Forest Preserve. Several of the units ponds support a good brook trout fishery as does the Middle Branch of the Oswegatchie River. Good access to the area affords many recreational opportunities, including but not limited to hiking, camping, hunting, trapping and fishing. Several snowmobile trails also pass through the area and link to a larger network of trails.
