PeterB Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 This will be a repeat of a successful trip to Lake George last time last year. The goal will be to explore the islands in the middle of the lake amidst peak autumn foliage , hike to some peaks and ledges overlooking the lake, and camp at one or more of the many campsites in the area of Lake George Narrows (uninhabited at this time of year) , the Mother Bunch Islands , or on the shores of Tongue Mountain. The put in will be on the Eastern side of the Lake, From here there is access to the best spots to explore: The Mother Bunch and Narrows Island groups, hiking trail heads to the Black Mountain, and Tongue Mountain , Paradise and Red rock Bay. Put in is a three hour drive from Concord NH area) This will be about an L3 paddling trip: Mileage per day is flexible, Paddling will be moderate, ambling and relaxed, focused on exploration and stops to explore and walk on foot.(This is a beautiful wilderness area in Adirondack Park) Camping options are innumerable, as the islands have many campsites ,now uninhabited, we'll have the choice of dozens of islands to ourselves. The main requirement for this trip to be equipped for autumn camping, being able to say warm and dry ; (suitable tent, sleeping bag, shelter, and cold /wet weather clothing and outerwear. Weather might just be Indian summer warm to hot , but also may also be wet and cold. Drysuits highly recommended , as staying warm and dry while off the water will be required . We can get off the water at any time quickly no tides or currents, but wind waves can be significant , especially at the middle of the day. Water temperatures will be in the low 50"s, air temps anywhere from mid-40's to 60's or higher. If you are interested , please contact PeterB PM on the message board and we will plan details by group PM . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
