Boreas Ponds Paddle and Campout

Glens Falls-Saratoga Chapter Join us around 9 a.m. at the trailhead for a canoe or kayak portage, paddle and campout at Boreas Ponds in North Hudson. For those who have not been here, there is a very smooth and well graded 1.4 mile portage on a dirt road to the brand new accessible put-in that will require wheels. Once there we will set up camp at the Lean-To or in the field which will require a short .2 hike uphill. We can explore the ponds at our leisure for the afternoon. To paddle and explore the system of ponds is about 5 miles total with insanely excellent views of the High Peaks. The shore of the ponds is impenetrable. There is literally NOWHERE to take out other than the official put in which does make this paddle more challenging! Also worth noting is that the lean-to is NOT very close to the put-in which requires faith in mankind not to steal your boat while you are not watching over it. So you may feel more comfortable wheeling your boat up the trail to the Lean-to. Those who don't want to camp can sign out of the trip and hea… Hosted By: Glens Falls-Saratoga Chapter.

Whiteface from Lake Placid

Glens Falls-Saratoga Chapter The path less travelled to Whiteface, this is a favorite summer hike. After walking past quiet Connery Pond, we’ll get to Whiteface Landing on Lake Placid in time for a snack on the floating dock. Will the dock still be tilted, or will they have finally fixed it? The real ascent begins once we reach the Whiteface Lean-to. The views will appear as we approach the summit before our final climb up the open, rocky south face of the mountain to find all the people who drove up crowding the top. Our lunch spot will be a quieter place below the summit. The best part is a swim off the dock on the way back, so bring your swim suit and hope for warm but not too hot weather.
