I had to do this on my phone, as I am locked out of the site on the computer. I haven't gone above the confluence of the Round Lake outlet and the Bog, so I don't know about the section between it and the lower dam. I would think Rob Frenette at Raquette Lake Outfitters would know. I suggest...

Sorry for the delay Bill, I have had tech problems with the site and I can no longer login or post on the site using my computer. You can canoe about 2 miles upstream from the stone bridge over the river/at the falls where the Bog empties into Tupper Lake. It is a nice, peaceful paddle after you...

Thanks lowangle, it was a great trip. Enjoy it when you go.

Two years ago, I took a last minute trip and didn't use a checklist. I ended up forgeting the spreader bars for my bridge hammock. Without them, you can't sleep in the hammock (it folds in on you). I was camped about on a lake about 4 miles from the put-in. I had 3 nights ahead of me. After...

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the sites and the photos!

Thanks very much. Both my computer and phone seem to be showing all the photos.

Great trip and report. Thanks for sharing it.

There's all kinds of stray HTML code in the post. I am in the process of cleaning that up. I also have to upload some of the images again. This is a work in progress. I apologize for the mess. Well, that took some time. Every time I went in to edit the html and saved the changes, the spacing of...

I wonder what's up with that? They all showed when I uploaded them, edited the post and in the preview. I will take another look. Any ideas? This was the first time I could actually make a posting from my computer after a few weeks of no text box in the threads; it felt good to actually...

Last month I made two solo trips to Little Tupper Lake. The first was on the weekend of May 14-16; the second trip was May 28-31 (Memorial Day Weekend). This report will cover the second trip (with some photos from the first trip). Introduction/Background Little Tupper Lake is a major...

Thanks for posting the trip report. I enjoyed it. It brought back memories of my past trips to the area and got me more excited about my planned return this year.

My daughter got an Outback in January. I must admit I was jealous and like you, immediately saw that it was perfect for what I want to do. I am just trying to figure out how to convince the budget director (wife) to go along with it. I could trade in my Kia and get a good penny for it, but it...

Thanks for your reply. I am going to have to change vehicles to support my paddling habit, so this is just another reason to do so. Thanks again.

Can you drive these roads in a regular sedan, like a Ford Fusion or is a vehicle with more clearance needed?

Until the current problem that is preventing me from posting using my computer, I would have said Canoetripping.net fit perfectly with my interest in paddling and what I do. I have learned a lot, particularly about destinations or possible trips. I know that once I retire in a year or so I will...

Interesting...I was camped on Little Tupper from last Friday to Monday too. I had no problem with either black flies or mosquitoes. Where were you camped? I was at site #14, on the island at the far end of the lake. I brought and set up a bug shelter, but really didn't need it. I only noticed...

In 40+ years of canoe camping in the ADKs that happened literally once (on a July 4 weekend at a popular spot). I just picked a location 150 ft. back from the lake shore and spent the night there. The next day I looked for paddlers heading out, saw one and took their site. If I didn't get a...

I agree with Snapper, FCFS generally works in the ADKs. Just this past weekend I went to a popular canoe camping destination in the ADKs. I didn't get either of the sites I was hoping for, but still got one that I was happy with. This has pretty much been my experience over the last 40+ years...

Thanks for the trip report. I used my RR with the Spindrft and the Thunderfly tarp just a week ago in the Adirondacks. I was fortunate that the black fies were not bad yet. I hardly had to use a headnet or my Sea to Summit bug shelter. I expect it to be much different this coming weekend.

I was in the Fish Pond area last year. You'll be covering a lot of ground (water) in a very short time. Personally, I wasn't impressed with Lydia, other than it being special brook trout water. If you are not fishing, I wouldn't bother with it. I am going back again this summer, I am planning on...
