SUMMARY:
Created in eastern upstate New York in 1892 as one of the first Forever Wild Forest Preserves in the nation, the Adirondack Park is a unique wilderness area and National Historic Landmark. At 6 million acres, it is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States. The vast wilderness, pristine lakes, and mountains have made it a beloved destination over the years. In August, Sundance is planning a return trip with a five night moderately- paced Long Lake to Tupper Lake canoe adventure of about 34+ miles with one 1.2-mile portage over the Raquette Falls carry. We plan to paddle about 6 hours each day with lunch and rest breaks, birdwatching, and unhurriedly enjoying the silence and pristine landscape. This historic "voyages" route combines lake and flat-water river paddling through a beautiful wilderness area with primitive campsites. Our local outfitter will provide two-person lightweight canoes, life jackets, and oars. We will bring our own tents, food, sleeping bags, and all equipment & supplies. The trip will include carpooling, camping under the stars, preparing meals together, and purifying our daily water.
