Since singing up for the magazine in the beginning of the year, this current issue is by far the most interesting reading with great articles on kayak trips, hiking trips, and just simply good ol' Adirondack news.
Raquette River looks like a nice 2-3 day trip with the family or some friends. Camping on the shore, fishing, and just relaxing after paddle all day.
Our family really enjoys camping at Rollins Pond not too far all of the mountains that are seen above. The info below really looks like some of them could easily be done when the kids get older.
Over the past 10 years the ADK PARK has been working on attracting more mountain bikers, hikers, and snowmobilers. Parallel to this time there has been a debate whether or not to keep open a rail for the train traveling from Old Forge to Lake Placid. The cost of maintaining an open rail that has not brought any revenue over the past few years has steadily increased and it was in need of a solution. These two ideas merged and a very attractive solution has arisen. Hopefully the debating is over now and things can start moving in getting the rail removed to create the 90-mile trail.
I was never interested in the Appalachian Trail because I would never be able to get 4-6 months time to take the trail. Although interesting but not doable. A more appealing trail is the Northville-Lake Placid trail which is 122 miles but definitely doable with friends or even family when my kids get older.
