Solo canoeing, waterside camping, wildlife viewing, optional hiking 

Friday - Sunday, Sept 19-21, 2008

Quiet times are here again...  The summer crowds have returned home, the kids are back in school and the more scenic waters are waiting for us!  Join us for a few days in the St. Regis Canoe area.  We've got the perfect boats for exploring this area, the lightest boats in the woods actually at 12-16 lbs.  They are fun to paddle and easy to portage... making the many ponds in this area much easier to explore! 

We will meet in Tupper Lake (at our Raquette River location) Friday morning (9:00 AM) to pack for the trip.  Hornbeck solo canoes, paddling gear, light weight camping gear (*excluding sleeping bag), cooking gear and meals (Fri. lunch - Sun. lunch) are provided for this guided outing.  Anyone interested in arriving Thursday evening or staying Sunday night after the paddle are welcome to do so.  Just let us know so we can send you more information regarding such.  Not familiar with Hornbeck solo canoes?  Visit Hornbeck Boats online. 

After packing up Friday, we'll head to the put-in (about a 20-25 minute ride.)  Our camping destination is St. Regis Pond, a very beautiful and remote location.  We will be pond hopping throughout the weekend.  The loons should be quite active and rather entertaining.  You'll want a pair of binoculars and a camera for sure!!  

There's plenty of places to explore in this area... both by water and land routes.  Short portages connect 8 glacial ponds between the Fish Hatchery in Lake Clear, NY and Upper St. Regis Lake at the base of St. Regis Mountain.  We expect to arrive back at our home-base location in Tupper Lake mid-afternoon on Sunday.  Those interested in spending the night camping at our place on the Raquette River are welcome.  Contact us for more information about this opportunity.

Solo canoeing, waterside camping, waterfalls, optional hiking, spring wildlife

May 15-17, 2009 

The Adirondacks "spring back to life" in May!  New leaves begin to emerge, wildlife returns and it's pre-bug time!  We invite you to join us for a weekend of female camaraderie and spring adventure on a leisurely paced 3-day canoe & camping trip.  The Bog River area offers wonderful early season paddling, waterside camping, hiking opportunities including an easy hike to a beautiful open ridge with incredible views, and scenic waterfalls.   

Beginning paddlers, as well as those with canoe or kayak paddling experience, will enjoy this trip.  First timers are very successful with our canoes!  We provide Hornbeck solo canoes, paddling gear, light weight camping gear (*excluding sleeping bag), cooking gear, snacks, Fri. dinner, Sat. breakfast, dinner & Sun. breakfast for this guided adventure.  You provide your own sleeping bag, beverages & lunch foods.  A sleeping bag can be provided for an additional fee.  Not familiar with Hornbeck canoes? Visit Hornbeck Boats online.  They are awesome boats, are paddled like a kayak and weigh 12-16 lbs.  A real treat to paddle! 

The weekend plan...  We will gather in Tupper Lake (at our Raquette River location) Friday morning (9:00 AM).  After meeting & greeting our "group mates" we will pack our gear and head to the put-in stopping at Bog River Falls on the way.  Our paddle and exploration will take us along a quiet river, through small ponds & marsh areas.  Camping should be waterside  and evening campfires will bring closure to our daily adventures.  We will take paddling breaks along the way to stretch and explore.  There will be optional hiking opportunities as well.  Departure will be mid-afternoon Sunday.  Those interested in spending the night camping at our place on the Raquette River are welcome.  Contact us for more information about this opportunity.
