About Big Moose Lake

Surrounded by Forest

Big Moose Lake is located in the Western part of the Adirondack region near the Pigeon Lake Wilderness. This 1,242-acre lake could be out of a novel with lush forests lining the shores and sprawling mountain ranges in the background. In the fall, the shore is painted with color as the leaves begin to turn.

Big Moose Lake is around an hour from Watertown, New York, which sits on the shore of Lake Ontario. If you are looking for a more extended road trip, New York City is just over five hours from Big Moose Lake. You can even be in Montreal, Canada, in around four hours.
