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.

Please contact trip leaders with any questions and plan now to join us for an unforgettable Adirondacks adventure!
