Adirondack Raquette River

The Raquette River is a wonderful place to paddle, suitable for both canoes and kayaks. The Raquette River system offers some of the longest continuous canoeing in the Park. There are several easy access points and the river is slow enough that it can be paddled in either direction. The longest trip on the river is from Long Lake to Tupper Lake. There is only one carry on this route at Raquette Falls. The carry is just over one mile in length. Plenty of first come, first serve campsites are located along the route. Side-trips are available for hiking (such as Kempshall Mountain east of Long Lake) and additional paddling (such as Stoney Creek Ponds, which also provide a connection to Upper Saranac Lake via Indian Carry).

The Raquette River is also excellent for day trips. There are many places to launch a canoe or kayak, and many car-to-car paddling options. We will be happy to furnish you with more details, including information about our shuttle services.
