ABOUT THESE PADDLE & CAMPING EXPERIENCES:

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" to Upper St. Regis Lake exploring Green, Little Long, Bear & Bog 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 coming soon for the Little Tupper & Round Lake and Floodwood & Fish Creek Ponds trips. 

Adirondack Connections provides Hornbeck lightweight solo canoes for this paddle experience.  They are the lightest boats around and are perfect for any portages along the way.  Our guests often comment about the peaceful, relaxing paddling experience these boats allow.  Many like the freedom they have to explore on their own when out with other people.  They truly are a pleasure to paddle!  Adirondack Connections also provides the paddling and camping gear necessary for an enjoyable, scenic & comfortable adventure.
