Quiet
Water Trips & Nature Excursions
Saranac Lake Wild Forest - Ten Rivers Region - St. Regis Canoe
Area
Adirondack
Connections is based in the heart of some of the most pristine waters in the
Adirondacks. We've scheduled a variety of quiet water paddling trips
in
some of our favorite areas. You'll want a camera and binoculars
with you for these trips! Each trip allows opportunities to view a variety of
wildlife and seasonal flora as well as beautiful scenery. We invite
you to experience the peacefulness, freedom and joy associated with
paddling a solo canoe.
We provide the
lightest boats in the woods for
exploring the more remote and scenic waters of the Adirondacks. Our
boats
are Hornbeck double paddle solo canoes and weigh
<12 to 16 lbs. They combine the best features of
a canoe and a kayak in addition to
being very light and durable. Canoes are roomy, gear haulers, easy to get in
and out of and convenient to carry. Kayaks are fast, maneuverable,
comfortable, seaworthy and efficient to paddle. Hornbeck solo canoes, paddling gear
and personal floatation devices (PFD) are provided for our quiet water
excursions.
Call
Adirondack Connections at (518) 359-7536 for more
information on any of these trips. Overnight accommodations
may be arranged for those who would like to arrive the night before
or stay over after the paddle.
ABOUT
OUR POND HOPPING TRIPS:
Treat yourself to a pond
hopping experience this season! These are our most
popular paddle excursions with a new area being explored each
trip. We favor the peacefulness and beauty of the small ponds,
lakes, rivers and streams in the northern Adirondacks, known as a
"Paddlers' Paradise." The majority of these trips are
done as loops. We provide Hornbeck solo canoes,
paddling gear, small dry bags and day packs for these trips.
You are welcome to bring your own PFD and packs if you prefer.
The paddling pace is leisurely, allowing for exploration and enjoyment
of some very scenic areas. Excursions generally last 4-6 hours
and are dependent upon on the trip location, group interest and
weather conditions. The lightweight boats we provide for these
trips are perfect for the short portages that often
connect the ponds and streams in
the areas we will explore. They are a pleasure to
paddle as well. A variety of wildlife is often
observed on
these outings. Trip location and
directions to the meeting point are provided for each trip once a spot
is reserved, as well as a recommended list of clothing
& gear. Payment is required to
reserve space on a trip. Plan to bring your own lunch,
snacks & beverages. Advance reservations are highly
recommended and are necessary to confirmation a trip. Last
minute inquiries are welcome as
well.
