Moose River Farm

Tucked away in the natural splendor of the Old Forge region, a unique kind of Adirondack experience unfolds at a working farm. Here, the quiet rhythm of rural life harmonizes with the gentle presence of its animal inhabitants, inviting visitors to step into a world where connection with nature takes center stage. This distinctive destination is best known for its engaging llama treks and immersive farm tours, offering a truly memorable opportunity to interact closely with these captivating and serene creatures. The allure of llama trekking, while perhaps a novel concept for some, draws a wide array of visitors, from families seeking a unique outing to individuals simply curious about these elegant animals. Many who arrive at the farm have never encountered a llama up close, and they are quickly captivated by their calm demeanor, large, expressive eyes, and long, graceful lashes. Trekkers are encouraged to forge a personal connection with their chosen hiking companion, gently stroking their necks and observing their quiet presence as they navigate the trails. These guided walks are more than just a stroll; they are an intimate journey that blends the thrill of animal interaction with the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding Adirondack landscape. The farm offers these experiences across seasons, with winter treks holding a particular enchantment as the trails become adorned with freshly fallen snow, creating magical memories that linger long after the cold recedes. Beyond the guided treks, the farm extends an invitation for visitors to explore its grounds through comprehensive farm tours. These tours provide a deeper understanding of the daily life and operations of the property, introducing guests to the various two-legged and four-legged residents that call this Adirondack haven home. The farm’s dedication to the well-being and gentle disposition of its animals is palpable, particularly with its llamas, who are consistently described as eager and willing participants in these encounters. Past celebrations, such as annual "Llama Appreciation Day" events and even a lively virtual parade featuring the farm's animals and special friends, underscore the warm, community-oriented spirit that defines this unique spot, highlighting the profound joy and gentle companionship these creatures offer. For those eager to embark on one of these distinctive Adirondack adventures, reservations for both llama treks and farm tours are essential.
