Just got back from my second trip to the St. Regis canoe wilderness area this year and I’m looking to plan yet another trip to the Adirondacks.
Any suggestions on where to go for a weekend trip that doesn’t have too much boat traffic and maybe even some river travel? I don’t mind portages, but having just come back from the nine carries route, I’d like to spend a little more time paddling than portaging!
ideas
Little Tupper Lake to Rock Pond outlet
Bog river to Hitchins Pond to Lows lake
the Saranacs in autumn when motorboats lessen

Cedar River Flow
– Last Updated: Aug-31-05 9:46 AM EST –
Cedar River flow is a great spot for seclusion.
The flow is in Hamilton County and is located about 13 miles southwest of Indian Lake. It is remote lake that is good for day or overnight trips. There are several lean-to around the lake. It is good trip for anyone including beginners.
The flow is a man made lake, but there are impressive wetlands, forests and bogs.
To the south is the Jessup River and a an area that is locally know as Perkins clearing (There is no clearing – Trees as far as the eye can see). This is where NY DEC released moose several years back. There is a good chance of seeing moose on the flow.

Raquette River around Axton Landing up to the falls. Stony Creek/Ponds in the same area are nice. Lake Durant to Rock pond has a good view of Blue Mountain & some nice hikes if you don’t mind some road noise.
