Spots to visit in the Hammersley Wild Area (PA) not on the STS/Hammersley Fork? - Adirondack Forum

Calling trailnotfound and jmitch ! I'm starting to make tentative plans for a group backpacking trip, potentially in PA, and the Hammersley Wild area is on the short list of possible options.

I've heard both Icehouse Pond and Helldiver Pond are somewhat "hotspots" for moose sightings at dawn and dusk in the summertime, and further, that the Moose River Plains as a whole is pretty active. Anyone able to substantiate this claim with firsthand accounts?See the Story
