Moose River Plains 📍

Spanning Herkimer and Hamilton Counties, the Moose River Plains Wild Forest offers an array of activities, including camping, hiking, mountain biking, fishing, hunting, and canoeing. Free campsites are accessible from late May to December’s end. Winter highlights snowmobiling along the Limekiln Lake-Cedar River Road linking Inlet and Indian Lake. Must-visit spots encompass Cedar River Flow, Moose-spotting at Helldiver Pond, scenic Wakely Mountain with its firetower, as well as numerous smaller ponds and lesser-known trails. This diverse landscape caters to a range of outdoor pursuits, making it a year-round destination for nature enthusiasts and adventurers.

Limekiln Falls Area

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.

Fog Hangs Low Over Wakley Pond

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.
