Canoe the Cold River; Adirondacks, November 2021

[@jeannenimmo5]

The Cold River Country of the High Peaks Wilderness is one of my favorite places on earth - backpacked through there many times and never disappointed. Too old now for backpacking - and bum knee - but I've given instructions to our son that some of my ashes are to be deposited near Rondeau's when I check out. A true personal Shangri-La. Thanks for the great video. 🥾

Good stuff.

That was probably some of the best photography of the Adirondacks I have ever seen. Awesome job.

Just found your site. Bin thar! Stayed at the Calkins Brook lean to 3 times, but couldn't quite get to Pine Point, water was too low, but have a pix of me standing there by the tree with the sign. Hiked part way to Shattuck. We broke ice twice leaving Calkins! Also stayed at the Deep Hole lean to where the rivers converge a couple of times. All this was before the Duck Hole dam broke, but sooo nice too see this again! Your photography is Excellent!! but your hike long lake site is down. Still keep'n my paddle wet... Jerry

Fond memories of Long Lake (circa 1990).

Very nice ! Fantastic ! I’d like to do the Long Lake ,Raquette River trip this coming season, what is that like three days ? Not pressing ? Or just a couple. Thanks !

I absolutely love this video, I spent my summers as an infant to teenage years in the Adirondacks. My parents had a cabin, the only modern convenience was electric and a wood stove for heat. I loved it then and I love it now. Closet place to heaven on earth...imo.

Hello, just found your channel….LOVE your work! My parents would take us (5) to ADK with the pop up camper, when we were kids. They are now 86 and I’ll be showing them all your videos, and thanking them for instilling in me my love for the outdoors. Thank you for creating for us to relive life memories.

[@hikelonglake]

Thank you for that. I enjoy doing them (the videos) and getting the feedback makes it even better.

[@davidrenaldo2252]

Beautiful that’s why I go up every year. Or ten days you did a great job with the video

[@gwheel3502]

Awesome trip, video and pics! So glad I found your channel

[@hikelonglake]

Thanks for watching! I appreciate the feedback. Sorry about my slow response, I've been traveling. But back home now and working on the next video.

[@robertbeirman107]

I just found what just might be the most majestic cane tripping spot ever....And those views of the High peaks.... I will be going here...Thank you ADK46r6750W

[@hikelonglake]

Yep, it's pretty great. It can be a bit busy in mid-summer but if you can go early or late in the year it's about as good as it gets. (actually, that's true even in mid summer)

[@qnslanman]

What map are you using?

[@markcummings6856]

It’s a plain old (and lousy) NYS DEC map.

[@TheNfields260]

Outstanding production!!!!

[@hikelonglake]

Thanks, I appreciate feedback. There are so many beautiful places to visit in the Adirondacks so more videos coming soon.

[@hikelonglake]

Apologies! The bird identified in the video as a Red-headed Merganser is almost certainly a Common Merganser.

Absolutely beautiful frosty mountain pictures. I was there in August 2021. Paddled to Plumleys Pt and hiked into Cold River for a couple nights and visited the Rondeau Site. Can't wait to go back but I have plans to visit French Louie's stomping grounds this year. Jeff

[@DuctTapeADK]

I did the same in October last year. Had to check on the lean-tos.

[@hike-bike-paddle-and-drone]

@@DuctTapeADK with any luck I get to help out L2R with West Lake LT this year. Going to try to time my visit around the same time and make my way over to Louie's Cave as well as some other spots.

[@DuctTapeADK]

@@hike-bike-paddle-and-drone nice. I think George is spearheading that one. I am headed into the area next month to do trail and lean-to maintenance.

[@hike-bike-paddle-and-drone]

@@DuctTapeADK which entry do you use? I think I will be coming in from the Inlet side past Brooktrout Lake.

[@DuctTapeADK]

@@hike-bike-paddle-and-drone I almost always come in from Wakely.
