Ross Moore Lake
Ross Moore Lake can be hard to get to. We have skied and snowshoed into the lake in winter. We have biked into the lake from Lac le Jeune and run to the lake from a parking area area Fred Lake, but driving in with a kayak requires a circuitous route via the Long Lake Road. Most of the 15 km backroad route is unmarked so a good map or a GPS is helpful.
There is a small Recreation Site on the southeast corner of the lake for a hand launch.
The lake sits at 4185 feet (m) and a paddle around the shoreline is about 3 km.
Ross Moore is surrounded by high country forest with some swampy areas and some flooded trees along the shoreline. The Rocky Mountain Rangers cabin stands on the north shore of the lake
There were loons on the lake, killdeer on the shoreline, and deer along the route in. Although it is a bit of a journey in with a kayak, it is a nice lake for a shorter paddle on a summer or fall day.
