The first time I went to Browns Tract was about 1980. Uncas Rd from Eagle Bay was still a dirt road. It took about 45 minutes from Eagle Bay to Browns Tract in a 72 VW Beatle. We camped at the lower pond. We took the canoe out on a full moon the first night with low-lying fog. The next day, we were able to get the canoe to the big pond and had a picnic on the island. Wonderful memories. The last time I was at Browns Tract was about 2009. Another best kept secret is Golden Beach campground at Raquette Lake. Especially the sites off of Rt 28 with their own beach.

Looks like a great place to camp for peace and quiet along with some fishing! Can one use an electric trolling motor there?

No, no types of motors at all, says DEC Tract website

That’s probably not the Adirondack’s best kept camping secret. It’s undeniably beautiful there. I hope there’s a little known dispersed camping spot that doesn’t have to be reserved and it’s private ( on public land) and it’s priceless for a few days, maybe even a week or two depending on the forest rules.

I’m looking into that, and access to the area after park closes Sept. 1. Finding your own lakeside site won’t be beaten down at all which is kinda rough, but worth it. Cautious with fire site.

Moose River Plains. It's not really too secret but the campsites are well dispersed over miles and miles of seasonal 'roads'. It's much more a wilderness experience. Very primitive. Enter either from Indian Lake or Inlet. Coming in from the Indian Lake side there is an actual campground called Cedar River Flow Campsite and then it's many miles of seasonal roads and very primitive campsites almost all the way to Inlet. It's so isolated and dark I sometimes bring my 10" Dobs for a night of stargazing because it's without a doubt the darkest spot at night in the 'Dacks. It rates between 2 & 3 on the Bortle scale and on a clear and Moonless night if one lets one's eyes adjust to darkness and pays attention one can see the shadows cast by the starlight. Very cool.

@@Parkyacar I remember back in the 90s when straight line winds decimated the 'Dacks. Lots of campers were trapped back there until crews with chainsaws cut through all the downed trees. Great brookie fishing too! ;-)
