Slide Brook Basin
Nestled between Lincoln Peak and Mt Ellen, the 2,000-acre Slide Brook Basin offers a haven for wildlife, including moose, black bears, white-tailed deer, and more. In winter, it transforms into a tranquil backcountry escape for skiers and riders seeking solitude. The wooded terrain in Slide Brook Basin flows down toward Slide Brook Road, which leads to German Flats Road.
