This Saturday's Family Day at the Wild Center in Tupper Lake brought lots of smiling faces outdoors to enjoy the sunshine and a great line-up of activities. More than 2000 people attend the event which was free and open to the public and feature Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods.
So in the spirit of getting children into nature, here are some of my favorite places to paddle with my kids. Enjoy!
Follensby Clear Pond - Horseshoe Pond - Polliwog Pond Loop
A fantastic area to pond hop with your children, all the carries are short and the critters are
abundant. There are many great places to stop for lunch and a couple great swimming spots.
Stoney Creek Ponds to Axton Landing on the Raquette River
The meandering flow of Stoney Creek keeps you guessing as to what could be around the next
bend? The protected waters of Stoney Creek and the Raquette may this a great option for
a windy day.
Middle Saranac Lake Beach
If you are looking for sun and sand there is no better place than the beaches of Middle
Saranac Lake. Pack your cooler, your lawn chairs, sunscreen and your swimming suit and
make a day of it! Your kids will be happy and tired at the end of the day.
Long Pond and Long Pond Mountain
Paddling Long Pond and hiking to the top of Long Pond Mountain, I couldn't think of a
better way to spend a day with the family. And if you need a little more on water time,
make sure to explore Pink Pond.
Just a few fun spots to get you going. So now that you know, get out there and have some fun!!
