New York
This section of the trail begins in historic Long Lake,
New York, where Adirondack wilderness guides once
battled the damming of the waterways with explosives
and the nighttime sinking of a steamship. Following the
route of early loggers and hunters, the Trail winds along
rivers, through a unique silver maple swamp, and across
open lakes, where century-old, hand-operated locks still
convey paddlers between waterways.
