Welcome to the site. I have rented canoes in Florida, just not for me I guess. How much paddling can you do during the summer months in Florida with the oppressive heat? 8-9, maybe 10 months? I’ll take 7 months of Adirondack paddling any day.

Lots of good information in the Maine Atlas and Gazetteer to go along with those books mentioned above. Poland Pond is a nice wilderness destination, campsite is on an island.

That’s some great news, New York State and these organizations involved have done a great service to those who love the beauty and wilderness of the Lows Lake area. Part of me says remove the structures and roads and let it go back to wilderness like the rest of the area, but I’m biased. Some...

Welcome neighbor.

Nice pictures and write up, Thanks

Contact Mike McCrea, he’s probably got something like that already made up.

What a beautiful location, hope it’s not to stressful.

I like the earlier ones. It actually took me a few seconds to see the two different canoeist’s in the first post, that’s a beautiful thing. That 1963 Canadian Silver Dollar is very nice. Thank You for posting these.

I carry a cold handle frying pan, slipped into a protective cover and always the last thing to go on top of my Duluth Pack before I close the top flap. The “Lilbug” stick stove goes in its protective cover and lays flat in my pack. I carry a small stainless steel pot with a lid and wire...

That’s a fair price, actually very fair what with those nice stickers and the sizes of the paddles.

I didn’t even read the post above before I liked it.

Beautiful canoe Brightraven. I have always hear nice comments about the quality of Tom MacKenzie’s craftsmanship. My favorite campsite is Virgin Timber Landing on Lows Lake in NY’s Adirondacks. I have spent many nights camped there in early spring or the last week of October with my wall...

I never strap or secure my packs, just my little tackle bag looped around a thwart. But, I seldom if ever attempt any moving water anymore Years ago, solo west of Temagami I was floating down stream when I took my eyes off the water and got flipped right out of the canoe by a rock just under the...

Thanks for the heads up, you’re right, he did an excellent job on that video, very entertaining and informative about the area. Very respectful to the First Nations people too. Yea, he is a pretty good paddler also. Your write up and pics are very good also. Thanks
