Leader: Andrew Meunier 518-376-2470 andrew.m.meunier@gmail.com
- This 32 mile bike loop will leave from the Hub in Brant Lake and take us on a tour of some of the gravel roads in the area. Gravel roads usually mean less traffic and pleasant scenery. The route has some challenging climbs and fun descents, although we'll be in no hurry. Typical road bike (23 - 25mm width) tires will work OK but wider tires will be more fun and less prone to flatting on the rougher surfaces we'll be rolling over.

Albany Chapter
I will be leading a weekly mid-week paddle this season. It will be either on Wednesday or Thursday, depending on which day has the better weather. Last season we averaged 11-1/2 miles per trip, with about 5 hours on the water. We paddle at a fairly relaxed pace, but these are “all day trips” so bring a lunch and plenty of water. We could be paddling anywhere on the Mohawk, Hudson, or one of the many streams that are in the region or the southern Adirondacks. I will decide on a location and day the weekend before each trip. I will also attempt to have the destination listed on the Chapter Web Page as soon as possible. Contact me by e-mail for more information and to be put on the Paddler’s E-mail list for future trips. As with all Chapter Paddling Trips; you must wear your properly fastened PFD, bring a whistle and a white light. If I’m not able to lead a particular trip, a qualified substitute leader will be assigned. The paddle will go on.

,
We will plan to stop and eat lunch along the paddle. It looks like there are a few good spots. Bring a lunch, snacks, water, PTF and extra clothing just in case.
You should be an experienced kayaker with self-rescue ability and capable of paddling at least 3 mph for sustained periods.

- This overnight backpacking trip will take us to a remote and beautiful corner of the Adirondack Park, far from the crowded trailheads of the high peaks. Its many lakes are home to moose, loons, ... and perhaps the occasional deer fly! We'll take the Cedar Lakes Trail to the Northville Placid Trail where it passes through the West Canada Lake Wilderness. Then we will follow the NPT west towards West Lake and explore what's left of the trapper/hermit French Louie's settlement. After a night spent at one of several lean-tos in the area, we'll leave the NPT and take the French Louie Trail east to complete our counterclockwise loop. Our total mileage will be ~20 miles spread over two days with ~2,000 feet of elevation gain. There will also be the option to summit Pillsbury Mountain on Sunday if we are feeling ambitious.

The climbing really kicks in at about 1.25 miles and continues to be quite steep as it passes over open rock slabs. The best views are from the stairs on the tower itself, the cab of the fire tower is closed and locked. The old observer’s cabin is just over the rise.

We’ll meet at the Truax Trailhead (after turning off Old State Road, it'll be across from 1407 Kings Road) and see if we can spot some of the elusive Karner Blue Butterflies as part of their second seasonal brood.

We can do some of the Green Trail from this trailhead - this is relatively flat terrain with minimal forest cover. Walking/Hiking distance will vary from about .5 miles to 2 miles.

Description: The focus of this outing is lunch and a swim at the Black Hole, a delightful (and popular) swimming hole on Mill Creek off the north side of Harrington Road in the Town of Johnsburg. Although one can drive directly to the Black Hole, that approach would seem very un-ADKish. Instead, we’ll spot cars at the Black Hole and take advantage of a substantial chunk of town-owned land north of Mill Creek to improvise a modest 2.25- mile (appx) hike/bushwack to the swimming hole. We’ll start in Riparius at the Route 8 Hudson River Bridge and proceed along the lightly-traveled Riverside Station Road until town land is reached. At that point the group will bushwhack to the Hudson and proceed downriver (possibly along RR tracks for better views) to a point just above where Mill Creek empties into the Hudson. We’ll then head up Mill Creek to the Black Hole. All hikers, whether they plan to swim or not, will have to…

Join us for a hike along Stone Valley Trail. This is a beautiful walk along the Raquette river. The Stone Valley Trail is a scenic trail offering great opportunities for waterfall viewing, wildlife watching, and learning about local history. Along the way, look out for several informational kiosks describing the natural surroundings and the history of the Raquette River. Multiple iconic North Country waterfalls, including “The Tubbs,” are located along the trail. Most of the larger falls are located along the first 1.5 miles of trail from the southern (Colton) side of the loop. Many hikers opt for this shorter, but very scenic, out-and-back option. During the summer months, whitewater kayakers can be seen braving the raging rapids through what is known as one of the most technical stretches of river in the Northeast.
We will meet at the southwest parking lot in Colton at noon. Take the first left off Main Street onto river street in Colto…

Located near Old Forge in the northwestern Adirondacks, Woodhull Mountain is unique in that it is not a very high peak but it is the longest fire tower trip, as there is a long, flat hike along an old railroad bed in approach to the uphill section of the climb. Distance: 15 miles round-trip, Elevation: 2,365 ft and Ascent: 1,000 feet.
The first 5 miles of the trail to Woodhull Mountain are mostly flat and along an old railroad bed. Depending upon the interests, the first portion of the hike can be done by biking. After these first five miles we’ll pass a turnoff to Remsen Falls; continue along until we reach a bridge – the road ends and the hiking trail begins after the bridge. The trail will then be approximately another 2.5 miles to the summit. It is not very steep and climbs gradually to the top, which upon reaching we will be treated to a view of the Western Adirondacks. Feel free to climb the stairs of the fire tower for a s…
