So it took me a little bit to get these downloaded, but here are a bunch of pics from our kayak camping trip to the 'Dacks from a month or so ago. I highly reccomend this campground to anyone that wants to try kayak-camping! Great scenery, and lots to do in the surrounding areas! Saranac Lake Islands campground info.

The weather was not the greatest, thus the "misty" pictures; but still great fun. Just as a comparison,look at my pics from the same area, from Fall 2009.

One tip if you're in Lake Placid, check out Lake Placid brewery, they have excellent beer (you dont want to see the pictures from that adventure!). "Ubu Ale" is highly recommended (by both Ray and myself)! Lake Placid Brewery info. I picked up 5 growlers to bring home and they only lasted about 2 weeks! And no, I'm not a spokesman; just a big fan!

Its amazing for kayak-camping. It was the Saranac Lake Isalnds campground, run by the DEC. Here is the map and info for the campground. We stayed on site #24, Partridge Island, and we had the whole island to ourselves! I am adding more pics as we speak of our other adventures in the area.

Thanks for the tip, I wouldnt want to have to wait till my next trip to the 'Dacks to drink that again! Have you ever tried their boch. At the brewery they served it in almost a wine glass. Just wondering what that one may be like. Do you have any other favorites of theirs Ray?
