BirdTrout
Little Moose Wilderness, New York
257,534 acres of public ground, managed by State conservation department. 75 named streams run through it, of which 62 are designated trout water — 404.4 miles of it. It is in the state's huntable-land layer.
Open in BirdTrout50°F and colder is cold, through cold-transitional and cool, to warm above 70°F — the same four bands the app paints. The colour is NYSDEC's own classification of the stream, not a measurement, except at the gauge dots, which read live. Grey is water NYSDEC has not typed.
The unit in numbers
Assembled from the state huntable public-land layer and PAD-US ownership records, dissolved into one block: the section lines a state forest is surveyed in are not a fact about access, so they are not drawn and not counted twice.
Getting on it
PAD-US carries no access class for this unit. It is in the state's huntable layer, which is why it is here; what else you may do on it is the managing agency's to say.
This unit is 46 separate blocks of ground rather than one, which is normal for public land held in surveyed sections: the blocks are not contiguous. The map above draws every one of them, and the ground between two of them belongs to somebody else.
Trout streams on this ground
Every named stream whose reaches touch this unit, longest first. 2 of them have a page of their own and are linked; the rest are in the app. The class column is NYSDEC's designation of that stream, over the reaches it has classified. "Now" is the live USGS reading where a gauge stands in that stream.

The miles are the whole stream's, not the miles inside this boundary: a river does not stop at a property line and neither does its page.
Hunting
This ground is in New York's huntable public-land layer, managed by State conservation department — 100% of the unit is covered by it. This app does not carry New York's season dates yet, so there are none printed below — NYSDEC publishes them, and that digest is what to check before you go. That the ground is huntable and that a season is open on it are two different facts, and only the first one is on this page.
Access sites and amenities
No public access site we have on record stands on this unit. We hold no trail or campground data at all, so what is here is what the state publishes as launches and walk-in access, and none of it falls on this ground.
Regulations
Nothing on this page is a regulation. The fishing rules that apply to the water on this ground — the types, the seasons, the size limits and the gear restrictions — are on the New York fishing regulations page, built from the agency's own columns.
Watersheds it lies in
The subbasins this ground drains into. Each one has the whole basin's water on it.
Public land nearby
The nearest other blocks of public ground, centre to centre. Public land does not tile a state the way watersheds do, so this is nearness rather than adjacency.
