Paddling

A paddler’s paradise awaits with six nearby rivers offering both quiet flat-water and exhilarating whitewater. The Oswegatchie River leads to some of the last remaining stands of virgin timber in the Adirondack Park and connects by carry to other watersheds. The newly protected branches of the Grasse River invite exploration. The Raquette and Black Rivers play host to whitewater enthusiasts. Cranberry Lake covers 11 square miles and has numerous flows that beckon both canoe and kayak.

Packbasket Lodge has both solo and tandem kayaks and canoes to rent. See Rentals.
