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 paddling 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 we offer on the river is from Long Lake to Tupper Lake. There is one carry on this route at Raquette Falls, just over a mile long. There are plenty of first come, first served campsites 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 provides a connection to Upper Saranac Lake via Indian Carry).
