Where can you see elk in New York?
Elk once roamed New York freely, but they were extirpated by the late 1800s. Today, a few small herds exist in captivity or on private land. The best public viewing is at the Adirondack Elk Farm in Speculator, where the herd roams a large pasture. Another option is the Feeks Elk Farm in Wayland (Steuben County), which offers tours. In the wild, a few elk have been spotted in the Adirondack Park, but sightings are rare. Check out our New York wildlife guide for more details.
