Anywhere in upstate adirondack region is outstanding. Get on Rt. 30 north out of Amsterdam and head north.........any of the areas between Speculator and Tupper Lake are absolutely outstanding. You know when your in the heart of adirondack bear country when you start seeing caged in trash bins for the garbage truck at the end of everyones driveways...........

My girlfriends family are all old school loggers and big woods deer hunters that still hunt and drivethese mountains north of Great SacandagaLake.They see almost as many bears as they do antlered bucks and kill at least one a year on average out of the group in this area.Lots of public land and paper company land too that you will never see another hunter on if your willing to hike a bit.
