This site is dedicated to the return of the Moose in the Adirondack Mountains, the rapidly growing Moose population and the people who treasure the wonders of nature and outdoor life.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) began a program a few years ago to study and educate people about the magnificent and largest member of the deer family, the Moose. Due to budget restraints, this program was compromised. The gang at the Snowy Mountain Inn said "geez, that is terrible, we should do something". Even though we are not experts on Moose stuff, we felt that someone should keep some information available for nature lovers. We are avid outdoor people that marvel at the the wildlife activity around us everyday here in the mountains. As time goes on, we will have links to sites in other regions of the world that know lots more about these critters than we do. At the same time, we will be learning and passing on info to you about the Moose population that we are right smack in the middle of. Actually, where the Inn is located (Indian Lake - Speculator road) there are Moose Crossing signs every couple of miles for 10 miles, just south of us.

Believe me, Moose are here in the Adirondacks. The population is believed to be over 100, and growing. It is estimated that there are about a dozen or more new birth additions each spring. There is a prediction of the population expanding to more than 500 within the next 10 years at the current rate of breeding.
