| In A Place
Far, Far Away . . . |
Big
Moose, New York (July 9, 2006)
It's in a
place far, far away . . . but it's easily reached
from just about anywhere.
State and county roads take you into the heart of
the largest state park in the country -- the
Adirondack Park. Located about 15 miles north-east
of Old Forge, New York, Covewood rests on the
south shore of Big Moose Lake, one of the many
jewels of the west-central Adirondack region.
Covewood Lodge is easily reached via pine-clad
roadways from such areas as Albany (140 miles),
Syracuse (100 miles) and Rochester (180 miles).
Be warned, however -- once at Covewood, these
other places pretty much cease to exist!
Please
note that sea planes can be docked right at the
main Covewood dock.
Getting
Here From There
From
the NYS Thruway
Take the Thruway
to the Utica exit (#31). Proceed north on Routes 12 & 28. When you reach
Alder Creek, the divided highway ends in a “Y”. Bear right and follow signs
for Route 28 to Old Forge. Continue straight on Route 28 through Old Forge, and
go another 9 miles to the hamlet of Eagle Bay. Immediately past the grocery
store (Dan's Super Duper), turn left on the Big Moose Road
(if
you find yourself in the Village of Inlet, you have gone about a mile too far on
Route 28; turn around and go back to Eagle Bay). Stay on the Big Moose Road for
approximately 4.5 miles, and you’ll see our sign on the right. You may turn at
the sign or immediately before it, down Covey Road (both roads join a few yards
down the hill).

Once On The Property
At the bottom of our entry
hill you will see a small concrete bridge to your right. Cross this bridge and
proceed to the office to check in. Between Memorial Day and Columbus Day, guests
may check in at the Main Lodge, which is located at the end of our road after
you cross the bridge. During the rest of the year, guests will
find the office immediately after our bridge, at the manager's house on the
right.
