BOATING ON BIG MOOSE LAKE, NY

A few years ago, my family enjoyed a wonderful dinner at the Big Moose Inn, which is located next door to Dunn's boat service. When hanging out at the lake's edge, we enjoyed the views and casually discussed possibly renting a boat sometime the future when camping at Limekiln. This year while camping with our friends, the Marano family, we spent most of the day on Big Moose Lake. 

From the time the reservation was made to the end of the day when we returned the boat, Dunn's boat service was wonderful. They had a nice selection of pontoon and speed boats. We got a 2014, 13 seat pontoon boat. It had more than enough room for all of us to hang out, including the dog! 

During the course of the day we spent some time fishing with the kids. Actually catching a nice big mouth bass and a couple perch. We also spent some time anchored near the shore for some swim time and lunch. It was also nice to cruise around the perimeter of the lake and the nice homes and camps that dotted the shore line. Although you could see the other end of the lake, it's a decent size lake that could easily take a full day to explore and enjoy.

Everyone fished! 5 kids with rods made it very interesting 

At the wheel! I got enough driving time to not want my own boat! Its so much better to just rent and give it back!


Master fisherman!
