Wakely Dam to NY 28/30 12.0 miles
Lands adjacent to the dam represent the eastern main entrance to the Moose Rive Plains. Facilities provided are primitive in keeping with the general atmosphere of the area, and are described in the brochure: Moose River Recreation Area. An assistant forest ranger and emergency phone may be found near the entrance gate and register booth from Memorial Day Weekend to early fall. No accomodations or stores are available until the Village of Blue Mt. Lake.  A reroute was completed in 2007 which eliminates the six mile road walk as described below.
