Big Moose Lake, located in Herkimer County, is about 3 miles long and one mile wide.  While many North Country lakes are known for the clarity of their water and stunning views from the shore, Big Moose Lake adds a layer of notoriety from a day in the early 1900's when its waters were not so clear; they were tainted with the blood of Grace Brown.  

It is the the story of a promiscuous man, a child conceived out of wedlock and a woman whose day at the lake turned into a nightmare. Follow our friends at the Hamilton County Department of Economic Development and Tourism as they follow through Grace's last steps. Want the full story?
