I'm starting to pull together a couple ideas for this summer's pilgrimage to the 'Dacks, and am considering the Whitney Loop/Lila Traverse. A couple years ago, there was some sort of lawsuit going through the NYS court system involving the legality of paddling from Lilypad Pond to Mud Pond, and thence down Shingle Shanty Brook into Lake Lila, vs having to portage from Lilypad to a point further down the Shingle Shanty to avoid the private land that the Shingle Shanty Brook crosses. I have heard bits and pieces about it being ok now, but nothing definitive.
Can anyone add some clarity to this?
