Schroon Lake
9.1-mile Schroon Lake is a crystal clear mountain lake, with beautiful views of the High Peaks
region.  This uncrowded lake, which hosts respectful boaters,  can equally host the tranquil
kayaker/canoer and the powerboats or jet skiers.  With depths of up to 125 feet in center
sections, there is abundant fishing available.  A motorboat for fishing or pulling a tube can be
rented at
Maypine Marine located 1 mile north of town.  

Kayaks & canoes can access the lake, right from our sandy beach, easily put in and pull out
right at your accommodations.  If you would like to put in up the Schroon River and paddle down
to the Inn, we will gladly drop you off at the put in location, from the Falls approx.12 miles, from
North Hudson approx. 25 miles - back to the Inn.
Upper Schroon River
Lower Schroon River
This 15-mile stretch puts in at North Hudson (exit
29) and continues to Schroon Lake, with one carry
over the Schroon River falls.  This is an easy Class I
flat water trip on a meandering river, with wildlife
sightings and wilderness abound.

Put in at the Schroon River Falls and

cut the trip nearly in half.  

Warning:  In periods of summer draught the water
can be very shallow in the river and difficult for
maneuvering.
This is a 27-mile mixture of flat water and Class III rapids that
joins Schroon Lake with the Hudson River in Warrensburg.  
There are many access points along the way, but are
relatively unnoticeable when on the river.

Put in at the Southern end of Schroon Lake on the

other side of road.

Warning:  The rapid "The Big Drop" should be
scouted before running it.
Peaked Hill Trail at Paradox Lake - Paddle & Hike Trip
The trail head to Peaked Hill is only accessible by watercraft, blue trail markers leave the north
shore of Lake by Legoys Bay across from the Public Campground.  This 2.2 mile trail travels
one mile north up to Peaked Hill Pond, travel around west end of pond going north into a raven
to top of Peaked Hill.  Very nice views of the pond and surrounding areas, fish for small mouth
bass and yellow perch in pond.
White Water Rafting
Hudson River Gorge
The Hudson River Gorge is rated one of America's top ten white water rivers.  It consists of 13-miles of
very turbulent waters which provide a series of difficult Class V rapids, with numerous souse holes and
powerful hydraulics.  Periodic releases from Indian Lake maintains high water levels in the  Gorge
through out the summer.  

This is a wonderful adventure trip for the whole family, summer water levels are not as radical as the
spring and fall trips, but still packs a good punch and provides a lot a fun.  There are numerous
outfitters
that provide trips down the river on release days, they all provide lunch on the river and many provide a
snack or meal after the trip.  

Warning:   This area should only be traveled with a reputable outfitter unless you are an expert paddler.
Hudson River
North River
This 23-mile stretch begins in North River until you reach the Schroon River.  The first 5 miles (to North
Creek) are gentle with a few Class II rapids.  After North Creek, the remaining 18 miles gets a little more
exciting with some Class III rapids and ledge drops along the way.  The river has beautiful scenery and
some wildlife sightings.

Warning:  Summer water levels can be low - keep on the watch for shallow water.
