The New York State Point of Inaccessibility lies upstate in the Ferris Lake Wild Forest, North of Dolgeville and West South West of Higgins Bay, and fairly close to Jerseyfield Lake

The exact location of the New York POI is determined to be at:

• Latitude: 43° 18.180’ N
• Longitude: 74° 48.422’ W
• Distance from sea: 116.6km or 72.5 miles

These coordinates were calculated by Miso for Chris Brown in July 2019.

This point is in dense forestry, but it appears, from the satellite photo, that you could get within around 300m by travelling down the Billy Hamlin Road.
