Adirondack North Country

Featuring:
Northern Forest Canoe Trail

The Northern Forest Canoe Trail is the longest inland recreational water trail in the Northeast. From New York, to Vermont, to New Hampshire, to Maine, and even briefly into Canada, the trail stretches over 740 miles., following the route used by Native Americans and early European settlers.

The NFCT in New York has some of the most challenging waters, including small waterfalls and Class III and IV rapids in the Saranac River through the Adirondacks. When you reach the placid waters of Lake Champlain, you will be ready for some slack time.
