RV rental Nicks Lake Campground, NY: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

Independence River Wild Forest is a forest preserve that is open to the public year-round; it's characterized by lakes and rivers, wetlands, and rolling hills. The preserve has several access roads that you can use to enter by motor vehicle and perhaps even take a self-guided auto tour of the landscape in the comforts of your camper rental. In the winter, some of the roads are plowed, but some are left untouched for use by snowmobilers; you can also enjoy hiking, horseback riding, paddling, and boating while you visit. The preserve has a historic fire tower that was built from wood in 1912 (it was replaced by a metal structure in 1919), with panoramic views that extend for miles and miles. Moose River Plains is a distinct and varied nature preserve that lies between a range of mountains to the north and east, and low lying hills to the west and south. The landscape consists of hills, river valleys, and several small mountains; the slightly larger Little Moose and Manbury Mountains are exceptions to this and also lay within the plains' boundaries. There are dozens and dozens of lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams that either border the preserve or lay within it. It's a good choice for hiking as it has a huge number of well-marked trails for you to choose from, plus primitive camping spots. Pigeon Lake Wilderness is a nature preserve and outdoor recreational area that is situated between four large lakes (Big Moose and Raquette lakes, Stillwater Reservoir, and the Fulton Chain of Lakes) and has many smaller lakes and ponds within its territory. It's a good choice for paddling, fishing, and hiking in the summer, and snowshoeing and cross-country skiing in the winter. Wildlife observers will find the preserve to be a small slice of heaven with numerous bird and mammal species on hand (moose, coyotes, and peregrine falcons are just some of the preserve residents).
