At it’s core the Tug Hill Plateau has a beating heart of heavily forested land. Estimates range from 235 to 800 square miles but there is no denying that this area is heavily wild and not very heavily populated. I can always tell when I get near the center with my truck, as the pavement ends and signs start pointing to seasonal roads.
The best way to see this striking heart is by hiking or by ATV, few roads exist in its interior.
And while it pales in comparison to the size of the Adirondack park hundreds and hundreds of miles is nothing to sneeze at. I guess what I am saying is it is ruggedly beautiful country and only a short drive from Syracuse.
