Natural Features
Outside of the hamlet, New York State owns and has declared “Forever Wild” approximately 78% of the land that is located within the Town of Inlet. These lands fall into two New York State Preserve management areas, the Moose River Plains Wild Forest and the Pigeon Lakes Wilderness. With the exception of the New York State campground lands, all Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) lands located north of the Uncas Road are within the Pigeon Lakes Wilderness, while all lands south of the Uncas Road are within the Moose River Plains Wild Forest. At the southern end of this latter designation, the Moose River Recreation Area (MRRA) comprises 50,000 acres of public land, which represents the largest block of remote public land in the Adirondacks, readily accessible by motor vehicle. Although the MRRA overlaps several different townships, the state maintains the “Limekiln Gate” within Inlet as one of the two entry points into this primitive wild forest area. The MRRA is a major resource for a variety of recreational activities from bird watching, hiking, and fishing to snowmobiling, and provides some 140 primitive campsites. New York State operates public campgrounds at Eighth Lake, Brown’s Tract and Limekiln Lake, while primitive campsites and/or lean-tos can be found at Seventh, Eighth, Bug and Cascade Lakes. The State also maintains four public boat launches: one at Seventh Lake, one at Fourth Lake, and two at Eighth Lake.
