PADDLING & CAMPING from page 7 AUGUST 2023 9 ENTERING LITTLE SQUARE POND FROM FISH CREEK. if the loons are wailing. A short drive from the campground brings you to motorless Little Tupper and Round lakes where you will find a greater wilderness experience. Lake Harris Campground is in Newcomb, a little south of the High Peaks Wilderness. Motors are allowed and there is a boat launch on the south side of the lake. It is possible to access the Hudson River from the lake by paddling a short distance down the lake’s outlet. You can then take a left and paddle the Hudson upstream to the bottom of some rapids or take a right and paddle downriver toward the NY Route 29N bridge. There is a section of quickwater under the bridge – you may want to scout this out from the road beforehand to determine if you can paddle it in both directions. There is a mile or INDIAN LAKE’S WATERS GET DRAWN DOWN IN LATE SUMMER. so of flatwater downstream of the bridge – turn back above some rapids and get a nice High Peaks view on the return. The Tahawus area is a short drive from the campground, where you can paddle the Sanford Lake section of the Hudson River, and explore the area where the Opalescent River enters the Hudson. From the nearby Upper Works parking area, you can wheel or carry your canoe or kayak 0.4-mile on a smooth trail to twomile-long Henderson Lake, where the mountain views are outstanding. Putnam Pond Campground is found east of the Northway (I-87) between Schroon Lake and Ticonderoga. The pond has about five miles of shoreline on the edge of the Pharaoh Lake Wilderness and is a great place to combine some paddling with some easy to moderate hiking. Short hikes lead to wilderness ponds and a longer hike up Treadway Mountain offers rewarding views. Nicks Lake and Eighth Lake Campgrounds are in the Old Forge area. Nicks Lake is motorless and is totally surrounded by state land. Seventh and Eighth lakes can be accessed from Eighth Lake Campground – Seventh is likely to have more motorized use. Indian Lake Islands Campground requires a boat to access its campsites. Although motors are allowed, this large lake attracts many paddlers due to the scenery – Snowy Mountain – and lots of islands to help block any wind. Lewey Lake Campground is adjacent to the Indian Lake Islands Campground and a few of its campsites are actually on Indian Lake, but most are on the west side of NY Route 30. Lewey Lake is a small lake with great mountain views. The Miami River enters the lake from the south, and offers a few miles of typical Adirondack stream paddling with much meandering, and the occasional beaver dam to pull over if you want to make it some distance upstream. Moffit Beach Campground is located on Sacandaga Lake (not to be confused with Great Sacandaga Lake) in Speculator. Although some motorboats are to be expected, the north end of the lake offers a fair amount of interest. Providing you don’t mind going over a beaver dam or two, Burnt Place and Hatchery Brooks present some interesting exploration via canoe or kayak. Within a short drive of the campground are some of the southern Adirondacks’ best stream paddling on the Kunjamuk River, Fall Stream, and the West Branch of the Sacandaga River. North-South Lake Campground is our only offering in the Catskills. The lake is not very big so the paddling distance is limited. However, the scenery and the hiking are excellent so the area will favor people who like to hike a lot but still desire a chance to wet the paddle a bit.
