Moose River Plains Wild Forest, Wild forest in Adirondack Park, United States
The Moose River Plains Wild Forest stretches across 64,322 acres of land in Hamilton and Herkimer counties, featuring numerous lakes, streams, and mountain trails.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation established this protected forest area as part of the larger Adirondack Forest Preserve conservation initiative.
The annual Black Fly Challenge bicycle race takes place on the Limekiln Lake-Cedar River Road through the forest each June, drawing participants from across the region.
Visitors access the forest through two main entrances: the Limekiln Gate near Inlet and the Cedar River Gate near Indian Lake, with 140 primitive campsites available.
The forest contains the largest network of motor vehicle accessible remote lands in the Adirondacks, spanning 23 miles of unpaved road through wilderness terrain.
