left onto US Rte 3 and travel north approximately 3 miles. You will go up a steep part of Rte 3, known as Cork­screw Hill. As
you reach the top, this is the start of "Moose Alley". Moose Alley continues on Rte 3 until the Second Connecticut Lake Dam.
More moose viewing opportunities exist between Second Connecticut Lake and the border but certainly the most actively
