Adirondack Canoeing UPPER SARANAC LAKE the largest of the Saranacs, offers 37 miles of shoreline and stirring views of the distant High Peaks, as well as 20 primitive campsites available on a first come basis. The numerous ponds to the west of the lake are ideal for short paddles, or as starting points for longer trips into the Saranacs.

MIDDLE SARANAC LAKE features numerous islands and some of the finest natural beaches in the area. Paddle north to Weller Pond, a lovely and secluded wilderness pond. There are five campsites on Weller Pond and twenty on Middle Saranac, both on islands and on the shore.

LOWER SARANAC LAKE is our favorite for family day trips, with numerous access points and convenient boat and canoe rentals. Given its proximity to the village of Saranac Lake downtown is one mile from Ampersand Bay, the Lower Lake is ideal for easy day tripping. One popular trip begins in Lower Saranac, continues down the Saranac River, through Oseetah Lake and Lake Flower to the boat launch downtown. For overnight excursions, there are over 55 campsites located on the islands and on shore.

NOTE: The 87 campsites on Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes comprise the Saranac Lake Island State Campground, maintained by the New York State DEC. All sites are accessible by boat only, and there is a fee for camping on these sites. Reservations may be made via the internet at ReserveAmerica.com. Or

The second goal of this program is for participants to understand the nature and wildness of the world through the wildness of not only the three wolves, but all the other animals at the refuge. In doing so, the students begin to understand human nature in a more intimate way.

The goal of traditional yoga is to go with the flow. But during Yoga with Wolves, Wenn takes it a bit farther by having the students take a time out to appreciate all of the animals at the refuge, who, like them, are there in order to heal.

“The larger mission for me is healing,” Wenn says. The refuge 10 “is a healing 4 place for animals, but I [would] like it to be a healing class for the people who come.”

Yoga with Wolves takes place every Wednesday night at 6 p.m. at the Adirondack Wildlife Refuge and Rehabilitation Center in Wilmington. The fee to join the class costs $10 to $20. Half of the fee will go toward the refuge. For more information or to sign up, call 518-524-6485, email marci.wenn@gmail. com or visit the refuge’s Facebook page.

Bike Paths & Trails Biking Trails, Paths & Routes - There are many great trails and pathways in the Adirondacks that are specifically for biking. Below is a small sampling of some of the road and mountain trails: Pine Pond, Lake Placid Area Possibly Lake Placid’s most popular trail, Pine Pond is a 14-mile round trip that takes you to a great swimming hole.

Bloomingdale Bog, Saranac Lake Area An elevated, sandy pathway with many open views that utilizes an abandoned D&H railroad right-of-way and bisects a plant-rich bog community. About 8 miles one way.

Brewster Peninsula Nature Trails, Lake Placid A compact network of easy trails traversing gently rolling terrain and winding through a mixed forest and along the shore of Lake Placid. A brochure is available from the DEC, or you can contact a local bike shop or chamber of commerce for more information Hayes Brook Truck Trail, Paul Smiths Region A 7.2-mile round trip on wide dirt roads traverses a pine plantation and forest and leads to an old sheep meadow.

Spur trails lead to Hayes Brook and to a lean-to on Grassy Pond. Contact a local bike shop or chamber of commerce for more information Flume Falls Trails, Wilmington Mountain biking trails in Wilmington (near Whiteface Mountain). Dirt roads and single track of varying degrees of difficulty, these trails connect with the Whiteface Mountain trail system.

Jackrabbit Trail Trails along the railroad tracks, on an extension of the Jackrabbit Trail, and behind the parking lot where the tracks cross Route 86 between Saranac Lake and Ray Brook.

The Peninsula Trails An easy access trail in Lake Placid with a variety of difficulty levels and swimming opportunities. The main trail brings you right to the shores of the lake.

Connery Pond Truck Road A short dirt road suitable for all ability levels. Part of this Adirondack bike trail is in the Wilderness area and is closed to ATBs. Lake Champlain Bikeways An 1,100 mile network of interconnected bicycle routes, this route stretches from the southern Adirondacks and the Vermont Green Mountains, all the way north to Quebec, Canada. Originally a 350 mile loop around Lake Champlain, this extensive network of trails offers shorter biking routes with varying degrees of difficulty to satisfy the whole family. This trail system includes four ferry crossings, and two bridge crossings.

River Forks Trail Traveling upon back roads from Jay to AuSable Forks this loop provides views of the Jay Range and the convergence of both East and West Branches of the AuSable River at

AuSable Forks.

Adirondack Marathon Trail As the name implies, the loop follows the Adirondack Marathon course established in 1997. It’s allpaved and generally flat-to-gently rolling. You will, however encounter a hilly section between mile four (4) and mile twelve (12). Traffic is generally minimal. When you arrive in the hamlet of Adirondack, don’t forget to stop at the General Store for refreshments. A good start/end point is in downtown Schroon Lake, where food, parking, and visitor information is available.

Fort to Fort This flat, all-paved tour follows the Champlain Bikeway between Crown Point State Historic Site at the bridge to Vermont and Fort Ticonderoga in Ticonderoga. Traffic is generally minimal. A recommended start/end point is at the Lake Champlain Visitors Center at the bridge. At either end, plan on touring these world renowned Revolutionary War historic sites. Food, lodging, and parking are available in both Ticonderoga and Crown Point.

Iron to Iron This hilly ride is for advanced riders looking for a good workout. Be prepared for some occasional stretches of unpaved road surfaces; a cross-bike is recommended. Traffic is generally minimal. A recommended start/end point is at the Iron Center, near the Amtrak Station in Port Henry or at the Penfield Museum in Ironville. Food and lodging are available in the Port Henry/Moriah area.

Wet & Wild This day-long ride takes in two of the most remote paved roads in the Adirondacks. Grades become gentle after a hilly climb out of Moriah Corners and the route winds through woodland and open marshlands.

Traffic is generally minimal. A recommended start/ end point is at the Iron Center, near the Amtrak Station in Port Henry. Food and lodging are available in the Port Henry/Moriah area.

Coon Mountain Circuit For those wanting to combine cycling and hiking, this route is your ticket. Near the half-way point on Halds Road is the trailhead to Coon Mountain. A short hike up affords breathtaking views of Lake Champlain and the surrounding valley. With the exception of a short section along Route 22, the route has little

traffic. Terrain is rolling. A recommended start/end point is in the hamlet of Essex, where food, lodging, parking and the ferry are available. Or, bicyclists can start/end in Westport, which also has food, lodging, and parking, as well as an Amtrak station. If starting from Westport, take Route 22 north to County 9, and at the top of the first hill take Sherman Road to Halds Road. Return to Westport on County 9.

Rolling Reber Ramble As the name implies, the route is rolling, especially through the woodlands along Reber and Mountain Roads (be prepared for the occasional steep hill).

Traffic is minimal with the exception of Route 22, and where frequent trucks carry wollastonite on the short stretch of County Route 57 between Jersey and Mountain View Roads. (Wollastonite trucks use Mountain View, Route 57, and Stowersville Roads during the work week.) A recommended start/end point is in the hamlet of Willsboro, where food, lodging, and parking are available.

Surrounded by Water The route travels around Willsboro Point, offering plenty of views of Lake Champlain. The only steep hill is immediately north of the bridge over the Boquet River on Route 22. All roads are paved except for a 1/2 mile section. When traveling around the Point, be vigilant of vehicles pulling boat trailers. A recommended start/end point is in the hamlet of Willsboro, where food, lodging, and parking are available. Northern Adirondack Coast Bikeways Acres of Apples As the name suggests, Acres of Apples winds through a magnificent apple country landscape of orchards and farms. The loop is all-paved and flat-to-gently rolling with two steep hills within the first mile of the loop. Traffic is generally minimal. A good start/ end point is the Port Kent ferry dock where food and parking are available. Food is also available along the route at one of the many farmstands and restaurants.

Hiking Trails The High Peaks area continues to see increasing numbers of hikers, increased congestion and decreasing opportunities for solitude. While the rising number of visitors to these areas has resulted in trail erosion and damage to vegetation in heavily used areas, many nearby areas continue to see relatively light use, less trail damage and improved opportunities for solitude. The following hikes offer excellent opportunities for hikers preferring to seek alternates to many of the high use trails in the High Peaks Wilderness.

Baker Mountain Moody Pond Road, Village of Saranac Lake: 0.9 mile one-way. This trail offers outstanding views of the Saranac Lakes, the High Peaks and McKenzie Mountain Range.

Baxter Mountain Located 2.0 miles east of intersection of NYS Routes 73 and 9N at the top of the hill. The trail is south of Route 9N, 60 feet east of the intersection with Hurricane Road. 1.0 mile one-way. It offers good views of Dix, Giant and High Peaks Wilderness Areas.

Cooperkiln Pond From NYS Route 86 in Wilmington, go 2.8 miles up Whiteface Veterans Memorial Highway to the junction with Franklin Falls Road, on the right, thence 0.7 mile on Franklin Falls Road to the trailhead on the right.

Cooperkiln Pond is 2.7 miles one-way from the trailhead.

The total trip from the trailhead is 7.4 miles. Access from NYS Route 9, referred to as the East Trail to Rocky Peak Ridge and Giant Summit. The trail starts at a parking lot 4.9 miles north of the junction with Route 73.

Adirondack Canoeing And Rafting UPPER SARANAC LAKE the largest of the Saranacs, offers 37 miles of shoreline and stirring views of the distant High Peaks, as well as 20 primitive campsites available on a first come basis. The numerous ponds to the west of the lake are ideal for short paddles, or as starting points for longer trips into the Saranacs.

MIDDLE SARANAC LAKE features numerous islands and some of the finest natural beaches in the area. Paddle north to Weller Pond, a lovely and secluded wilderness pond. There are five campsites on Weller Pond and twenty on Middle Saranac, both on islands and on the shore.

LOWER SARANAC LAKE great for family day trips, with numerous access points and convenient boat and canoe rentals. Given its proximity to the village of Saranac Lake downtown is one mile from Ampersand Bay, the Lower Lake is ideal for easy day tripping. One popular trip begins in Lower Saranac, continues down the Saranac River, through Oseetah Lake and Lake Flower to the boat launch downtown. For overnight excursions, there are over 55 campsites located on the islands and on shore. NOTE: The 87 campsites on Lower and Middle Saranac Lakes comprise the Saranac Lake Island State Campground, maintained by the New York State DEC. All sites are ac-

cessible by boat only, and there is a fee for camping on these sites. Reservations may be made via the internet at ReserveAmerica.com. Or by Calling 800/456-2267.

KAYAK SLALOM COURSE The Saranac River, Whitewater Practice Area Located just below the Lake Flower Dam is a 500 foot long man-made Cass I (moving water) rapid, accessed from the canoe launch in the village municipal parking lot. The Adirondack Paddlers Club maintains the site with 10 to 15 slalom gates and holds weekly training sessions Wednesdays at 5 p.m. and sponsors a slalom race in May and youth kayaking programs in July and August. The area is open to the public and free of charge. The gates are up April through October.

Contact Jim Sausville at 891-2062 for more information.

THE ST. REGIS CANOE AREA - A pond hopper’s paradise located approximately 15 miles northwest of the village of Saranac Lake. The St. Regis is the largest wilderness canoe area in the Northeast U.S., offering some of the most stirring and serene paddling to be found anywhere.

The Canoe Area is easily accessed, making for a great selection of half day, full day, and multi day excursions. We recommend the historic “Route Of The Seven Carries,” beginning at Little Clear Pond and ending at Upper St. Regis

Lake. You can camp along the way, or do the trip in an easy day! There are numerous primitive campsites throughout the Canoe Area which are available on a first come basis.

Note that motor boats are not permitted on these waters.

SARANAC RIVER: The Saranac offers an enjoyable and easily accessible variety of excursions. From two canoe launches in the village, it is an easy, meandering paddle to any number of take outs downstream, along NY 3.

RAQUETTE RIVER: A gentle, scenic river, offering a number of charming campsites, many with lean to’s (3-sided log shelters). From Saranac Lake, access can be found either at Axton Landing (3 miles south of Upper Saranac Lake) or through a state launch site 16 miles west of the village on NY 3 & 30. Downstream lies Tupper Lake, while upstream are Raquette Falls, and Long Lake.

White Water Rafting

The best way to experience whitewater rafting in Lake Placid is a trip through the Hudson River Gorge with an experienced outfitter and a licensed Guide. With a history of transporting timber from the forests to the mills in Glens Falls, these rapids now transport thousands of exuberant whitewater rafting guests through one of the premier rafting trips in the Northeast each year. Rafting companies have been guiding rafting enthusiasts through the beautiful gorge for decades.

The excitement of the trip may vary with the water level and the season, but the beauty of this place that can only truly be appreciated from the river never changes. Trips leave from either Indian Lake, or North Creek. Both are just a short drive from Lake Placid. Depending on the conditions there may be choices for milder trips on lower sections of the River or wilder trips on other rivers. Some outfitters offer fishing trips as well as multi-day adventures.

Lake Champlain Basin Program

A VIBRANT REGION

Ringed by mountains and fertile lowlands, the Champlain Valley is filled with water carried from the surrounding land by a large network of rivers and streams. Rain and melting snow cascade down the rugged peaks of the Adirondacks, meander through the fields of Québec, and roll through the hills and mountains of Vermont. These tributaries, and their associated lakes and ponds, drain a far-flung watershed known as the Lake Champlain Basin. At 8,234 square miles, this drainage area is remarkably large, measuring 19 times larger than the surface area of the Lake itself.

With waters in New York and Vermont in the United States, and the Province of Québec in Canada, Lake Champlain crosses political boundaries and unites a culturally diverse area. Beginning near Whitehall, New York, the Lake flows north over 100 miles to the Canadian border and the outlet of the Richelieu River. The Richelieu then flows north to the St. Lawrence River, and onward to the Atlantic Ocean.

Champlain Area Trails

Lake Champlain’s natural resources and connectivity with other waterways have long made it an ideal location for human settlement and trade. Since the arrival of the first Native peoples, the history of the region has been inseparable from the Lake. Today, more than 600,000 people live in the Lake Champlain Basin and millions visit each year to enjoy its waters and other natural and historic features.

The Champlain Basin is covered with a patchwork of natural and human communities; a landscape in constant change.

The watershed’s natural diversity includes significant freshwater wetlands, complex aquatic ecosystems, a world class fishery and abundant wildlife habitat. The waterways used by humans are also vital corridors and migration routes for animals including large mammals, fish and waterbirds.

Many rare and endangered species of plants and animals also find habitat in the conservation areas and working lands of the Lake and Basin.

The Lake’s intricate shoreline, measuring over 587 miles, features rocky bluffs, sand and cobble beaches, deltas and a variety of wetlands. More than 70 islands dot the waters, and numerous inlets and bays add to the complexity of the Lake’s narrow profile. At its deepest, the Lake plunges down 400 feet, with an average depth of 64 feet. The southernmost regions of the South Lake are much like a river, which widens into the scenic expanse of the Main Lake. At Malletts Bay, the Lake reaches its greatest width, stretching 12 miles across. To the north, the Champlain Islands define an area known as the Northeast Arm, and in the far northeastern corner are the shallow waters of Missisquoi Bay. Each lake segment has unique characteristics and water quality issues.

Miller’s Country Store Wooden Clothes Racks

Culture of Stewardship A healthy Lake Champlain is integral to the region’s quality of life, providing drinking water, recreation, fish and wildlife, and scenery for residents and visitors to use and enjoy. These natural and cultural resources attract business, tourism, and a thriving cultural scene. For centuries, human activities on the land have also profoundly influenced the Lake. Pollution, overfishing, and dams have dramatically changed aquatic communities. The alteration of shorelines and rivers, the destruction of wetlands, and the arrival of nonnative species also have had an impact. Erosion and stormwater runoff bring sediments, fertilizers, and other pollutants into the water, with excess nutrients that can fuel the growth of unwanted plants and algae. Bacteria, toxins, airborne pollution, and climate change also threaten water quality and the Lake ecosystem.

Partnerships are working throughout the Basin to protect and restore Lake Champlain and its watershed. Efforts are underway to control stormwater and agricultural runoff, stabilize river channels and protect wildlife habitats. Other priorities include ecological restoration, management of aquatic invasive species, and reduction of toxins. Citizen participation, community education, and sound management are all essential to the success of these initiatives. Lake Champlain and its watershed have shaped our history, our communities, and our lives. The stewardship of a healthy Lake will help to create a sustainable future for all of the Lake Champlain Basin.

Travel With Your Pet the Smart Way

Individuals often view their pets as extended members of the family. People want to bring their pets along on vacations or while traveling to visit family and friends.

Until recently, it was more difficult to travel with dogs and cats. But as more and more hotel chains recognize the strong connection between people and pets, those chains are growing increasingly flexible in hosting four-legged guests.

For those who will be traveling with pets, there is a right and wrong way to do so. Having a plan of action is essential to safeguard the safety and comfort of all involved. * Establish the travel method and route in advance. Go online or scour travel maps to determine the best route to your destination. Depending on the length of travel, layovers may be needed to sleep, refuel and simply stretch the legs.

Phoenix came to us skin & bones, but he’s made such improvement. He’s very happy, healthy and ready to leave his past behind. Although super sweet, he does not do well with other dogs so he should be in a home where he is the only dog.

Learn to Fish Responsibly

Warm weather has arrived, and the welcoming temperatures are once again beckoning people to the great outdoors. Fishing is a popular warm weather pastime, and it’s important to take an environmentally responsible approach when fishing.

People of different cultures have fished sustainably for decades, and most anyone can follow their guidelines – and some others – to help keep our waters healthy.

Disturb wildlife as little as possible. When traveling into delicate ecosystems, such as those that primarily surround the water’s edge, do so with care. Operating a boat in shal-

low regions can chop up underwater vegetation or harm fish that live in the shallows. Don’t remove crustaceans or take plants or other wildlife out of the area.

Keep track of gear. Discarded or lost fishing gear can prove harmful to wildlife. It’s easy for fish or other marine animals to get tangled in fishing line and hooks that were left behind by fishermen. Sinkers and other weights may be mistaken for food and injure unsuspecting animals. Even animals like ducks and other birds can swallow fishing tackle, which can lead to illness or starvation. Don’t just abandon gear.

Catching and releasing fish. While a fresh fish dinner represents the ideal conclusion to a fishing trip for many people, an increasing number of anglers prefer to return their catch to the water. Anglers do this so as to minimize depletion of a favorite fishery.

Releasing larger game and panfish back to the water helps ensure that these mature, healthy fish can spawn again, and helps to perpetuate a fit population of quality size fish for future angling enjoyment.

Fish specific species at different times. Fishing specific species helps maintain different stocks of fish at various times of the year. Plus, you’ll help guarantee that one species will not be over-fished, potentially leading to underpopulation or extinction.
