Located in the Central Adirondack region of upstate New York, Big Moose Lake is about 1200 acres in volume and has many miles of shoreline. It is a natural, glacial lake at the head of the Moose River which eventually flows north to the St. Lawrence Seaway. There is a marina on the lake for gas, repairs and rentals and there are several restaurants within an easy drive. Big Moose is set off from the major influx of day visitors to the area and there is no public access to the lake. If privacy and quiet are your desires, this is a perfect spot.
