NINE CARRIES ROUTE

The Nine Carries Route is a backcountry canoe traverse not for the faint of heart. This trip is best suited for an overnight (or more) and best tackled using a lightweight canoe. Adventurers interested in this route should pack light and be willing to carry their canoe. The longest of the carries are going in and out of a group of beautiful backcountry ponds only accessible by foot (Fish Pond, Nellie Pond, Bessie Pond, Little Fish, Lydia Pond and Kit Fox). Plan on spending a couple nights in the Fish Pond area to fully enjoy its tranquility. A great backcountry canoe adventure through remote Adirondack wilderness

FOLLENSBY CLEAR POND - LONG POND - FISH CREEK

The Follensby Clear Pond - Long Pond - Fish Creek- area offers great loops and easy to moderate carries for both canoes and kayaks. There are many access points to this area. Some of the more popular launches are located on the southern and southeastern shore of Follensby Clear Pond and Long Pond Landing. Small to large sized ponds and a narrow, winding creek make for great pond hopping excursions. Suitable for both day trips and overnights. All campsites with the exception of Fish Creek State Campground and Rollins Pond Campground are first come, first served. Extend your paddling trip by carrying into the western edge of the Saint Regis Canoe Area and explore Hoel, Turtle, Slang and Long Ponds.
