PADDLE
IN THE ST. REGIS CANOE AREA
THE
LARGEST WILDERNESS CANOE AREA IN THE EAST
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."
