A popular and relatively easy lake and river trip. The Raquette River may be followed to Tupper Lake or one may portage to Upper Saranac and end either at Floodwood Pond or in Saranac Lake. The eastern route shown on the map goes to Ampersand Bay, to end at our Saranac Lake base you'll paddle through Lake Flower and have a short additional portage. Most parties use our transportation to the put-in and paddle to our base. Reservations necessary for any night spent on either Middle or Lower Saranac Lake through the Saranac Lake Islands Campground.
The best maps for this trip are the Raquette River Map and the Saranac Lakes Map (need both to cover full trip) or the Paddler's Map North
