About this map

Eagle Bay and Inlet serve as the primary hubs for this region of the Adirondacks, situated along the northern reaches of the Fulton Chain Lakes. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water bodies and high peaks, including Big Moose Lake in the northwest and the prominent Cascade Mountain and Black Bear Mountain to the southeast. Transport across this terrain relies on historic corridors like Uncas Rd and Big Moose RD, which connect scattered shoreline settlements with more isolated interior locations.

The presence of numerous smaller water features such as Queer Lakes, Windfall Pond, and Chain Ponds illustrates the drainage patterns fed by the North Branch Moose River. This area remains largely defined by its recreational and seasonal geography, where points like Eagle Point and islands such as Cedar Island and Dollar Island mark the established boundaries of lakeside community life. The mapping of the Cascade Lake TRL reflects the longstanding network of paths through the heavy timber and high elevations that characterize this part of Herkimer County.
