We invite you to join us for an overnight camping
experience in the St. Regis Wilderness, Fish Creek Ponds Wild Forest, William C. Whitney Wilderness or Bog River-Lows Lake
Wilderness area. These areas are highly favored by paddlers who
return year after year. These are planned as weekday trips for a
more peaceful experience. Weekends can be quite busy as people
flee to the great outdoors on their days off. We plan to spend the daylight hours enjoying nature's finest
while experiencing the peacefulness of the
wilderness... a place where time is truly yours to enjoy. Twilight
by the water tends to be rather relaxing, allowing us to wind down from
the activities of the day and fill ourselves with the quiet of
the evening and call of the loons. It's a serene and beautiful
time of day. Sunsets across the water are astounding, as are
sunrises for those who rise in time to watch them. If conditions are right, the mystique of the
rising sun over
mist
covered waters is a visualization and feeling that will remain with you
forever!
The St. Regis Pond trip is ideal for anyone
interested in spending a quiet night on a scenic glacial pond in the
St. Regis Wilderness before summer is in full swing. We plan to camp on
St. Regis Pond and "pond hop"
exploring Green, Little Long & Bear Ponds along the way. These
ponds sit at the base of St. Regis Mountain, a wonderful backdrop for
this area. These
ponds are frequented by Common Loons.
The Bog River & Lows
Lake area offers a variety of paddling and hiking options. The
many islands, sandy beaches, open ridges and floating bogs make this a unique area
to explore. Side trips include optional short hikes, one to an
open ridge overlooking the Bog River area which has a spectacular
view on a clear day, a visit to Grass Pond located on the northwest
end of Lows Lake and a meandering paddle up the Bog River to Bog Lake.
The Lake Lila trip allows exploration of
Shingle Shanty Brook, Harrington & Rainer Brooks and the Beaver River as well as optional
hiking. Swimming is quite popular at the many sandy beaches along
the shore, and we are told the fishing is good also. A short hike
to the open rock
ledge on Frederica Mt. affords beautiful lake and mountain views on a clear day.
Information
will be available soon for the
Round Lake-Little Tupper,
Henderson Lake, Long Pond, Floodwood & Fish Creek Ponds
and Raquette River trips.
Adirondack
Connections provides Hornbeck lightweight solo canoes
and Werner paddles for these
paddle experiences. These are the lightest boats available and are
perfect for the short portages along our routes. Guests comment on how
easy they are to paddle and the freedom they have to
explore on their own when out with other people. First time
paddlers do very well in our boats as do young paddlers. Children 8
years of age and above have paddled these boats on our trips and have
done well. They are easier to paddle than a kayak. Adirondack Connections also provides paddling
gear, lightweight camping equipment (except sleeping bags) and meals for an enjoyable, scenic & comfortable adventure. NOTE: Sleeping bags can be provided for
an additional cost.
