WMS Map: Little Moose Lake
About Little Moose Lake ....
Little Moose Lake is a lake east-southeast of Old Forge in Herkimer County, New York. It drains south via Little Moose Outlet which flows into the South Branch Moose River. Panther Lake is located south of Little Moose Lake. It was privately owned until about 25 years ago. It is passed by the Wilson Ridge Trail, which runs south from the Cedar River - Limekiln Lake Road.
