Hiking Canoe Carry From Lyon Lake to Raven Lake | Five Ponds Wilderness

Jun 11, 2021. My hike from Lyon Lake's southern end to Raven Lake via the canoe carry trail in the Wilderness Lakes Tract located in the southern Five Ponds Wilderness Area of the western Adirondack Park. This video is the fifteenth part of my hike from the western end of Willy's Lake to the southern shore of Muskrat Pond on the fifth and penultimate day of a trip searching for breeding bird activity for the New York State Breeding Bird Atlas III.

Note: This video is in a raw form, that is, it has only been lightly edited, annotated and/or altered. The footage remains mostly as I experienced it while bushwhacking through the Adirondack Park backcountry, just as nature intended it. Be forewarned, loud noises will arise from branches, hands, hiking poles, etc. hitting the camera.
