Our first
canoeists of the season arrived on May 10th. Ryan and Catherine
Thompson set out from Old Forge New York and paddled the whole 740 miles of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail in 25 and a half days which has to be a record, most paddlers take 50 to 60 days. Thirty miles average per day is no mean feat however this particlar canoe trail includes 55 miles of portages and many sections require paddling upstream. For more information on the Northern Forest Canoe Trail: click on the link further down this page. 
Water levels vary widely and not all rivers
