  ST. REGIS PADDLE OUTING
  July 19 - 29, 2010
PADDLE IN THE ST. REGIS CANOE AREA
THE LARGEST WILDERNESS CANOE AREA IN THE EAST
demo

The St. Regis Canoe Area is the only designated canoe area in New York state, and with 18,000 acres of 58 ponds, the area is a paddlers' dream.

The area is noted for its clear spring-fed ponds, short canoe carries and tranquil beauty. The entire area is closed to all motorized forms of transportation so the best way to enjoy all of the ponds is by use of a pack canoe, ultra lightweight canoes that can be easily transported between the many waterways linked by "carries."

A map of the St. Regis Canoe Area can be found by clicking HERE (leaving this site).

Using Paul Smith College as our base, over 40 different day trip are possible. Click HERE for a sampling of the trips.

We begin each morning with optional stretching exercises, followed by breakfast in the college dining hall. After breakfast, select the items for your lunch. prepare your equipment, get to the point of embarkation and YOU'RE OFF! 

All trips are led by other paddle outing participants and vary in length and difficulty. Some trips may have carries, but you can select the trip that meets your interest and skill level.

Following each day's trip, return to the dorm and enjoy a hot shower (laundry facilities are in the dorm), a snooze if desired and then enjoy the fellowship of other paddlers in the lounge.

After dinner, we meet as a group to hear about the day's trips and plan the next day's trips. Evenings offer possibilities of walks, reading and games.

The cost includes your lodging and three daily meals - dinner on the first day through a box lunch on the last day.

The price does NOT include canoes, kayaks or transportation of your boat.

Membership in the Adirondack Mountain Club is REQUIRED.
