Kind of a dreary day but I wanted to see what Moose River Plains looked like during the winter, that is before the roads were closed due to snow and ice.

Near the lands of Panther Mountain Club, and Panther Mountain, the Middle Branch of the Moose River dips north around Green Lake before decending Limekiln Falls. While no public access exists for these lands, the river is sometimes kayaked by by white-water kayakers.
