Situated at the head of the Moose River in Upstate New York, Big Moose Lake is popular for its remote location and beautiful landscapes.
There are plenty of hiking trails to be found here, including trails that lead to Russia Lake, the Sisters Lake, and the Gull Lake, where visitors can camp in the lean-tos.
The bays and narrows of the lake offer scenic views to canoers and kayakers, and birdwatchers will be pleased by the many opportunities to see loons and kingfishers.
There is a hard surface ramp on the south shore of the lake, and fishing is permitted during the summer.
