INDIAN LAKE (AP) – New York state regulators are expanding mountain bike access in the central Adirondacks.

The Department of Environmental Conservation is taking comments on an amendment to the Moose River Plains management plan to improve mountain biking opportunities in the 82,000-acre region.

Among other things, the proposal would add about 25 miles of mountain bike trails, improve bridges, clear overgrown trails, and build two parking areas along Route 28 to accommodate the anticipated increase in use.

The Moose River Plains Complex is in Hamilton and Herkimer counties. It contains more than 100 primitive roadside campsites, 130 miles of marked trails and numerous lakes and ponds. Access is from Indian Lake and Inlet in Hamilton County.
