Journey Across Waters Forever Wild - 8 Days And 40 Miles Solo Canoe Tripping Part 1

Welcome back fellow Adirondack explorers! In these next few videos you will see me set out on what many consider the "quintessential Adirondack canoe trip" going from Long Lake to Tupper Lake via the Raquette River. This trip sees me set out mostly solo, except for 1 day with my father on Long Lake. The fishing was exquisite throughout the entire trip, with action almost every single day. There is a lot to see, so this video only covers Days 1, 2 and 3. Look out for part 2 soon!

[@alanbierhoff6831]

I canoed that whole area back in the 1970’s when I was a camper at AWC in Old Forge. I miss living in the Daks. Looking forward to part 2

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

You will not have to wait long for part 2, a lot of cool trips I did last year will be hitting the channel soon! Thanks for watching and following along!

[@isooutdoors4300]

Great Video my friend! Got me excited to get back on the water hopefully in a few weeks! Just dusted off the kayak this weekend and looking forward to my first paddle! And of course, fishing for some rainbows! Can't wait for Part 2!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

I have been getting antsy to get back out there as well!

[@ADKAddicts]

Great video as always my friend. That site on the river is one of my favorites. Looking forward to part 2 and our trip to Long lake together. Get to work!! Lol

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Part 2 definitely coming very soon, cannot wait to get out some of our meetup vids!

[@CanoeCampClimb]

Very nice Jay. I'm looking forward to part 2. Thanks for being a steward of the ADKs.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Glad you enjoyed it Part 2 just went up and part 3 should be up this weekend! Thanks for watching!

[@CanoeCampClimb]

@@DaxWoodsWanderer I watched part 2 last night. It was a nice break from the winter.

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

Lovin' this one Jay! When I paddled out from visiting Rondeau's hermitage I took a break at that sandy beach camp spot with the picnic table. Also visited the Kelly Point leanto and stairs. I love this Lake! Can't wait to do this entire trip the same way you did it! I stayed at Plumley #2 and that was a fantastic spot. I think it was you on a previous video that stayed at the Island House leanto in the big pines? That looks like an awesome site! Jeff

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Long Lake really is something special, not just the camping and fishing but that entire town and the history in the area. It is truly a marvel.

[@spencerparsons146]

We are looking forward to part 2 and a big thank you for using Parsons lures.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

It just went live a few minutes ago, it is definitely full of some fun fishing action!

[@spencerparsons146]

Another great video man, keep it up . Love the scenery and the fishing

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jerrydague]

Cheers Dax👍😎👍

[@AbundantAdventures]

Great video. Coincidentally, I go to pick up my canoe tomorrow, so this was perfect timing for the video. Couldn't believe that mess at the first campsite! Really annoys me that people do that. The second spot is one of my favorites from my time doing the NPT. Stunning views. I'll stay tuned for part 2 :) Cheers

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

What canoe are you picking up? Perfect timing indeed!

[@AbundantAdventures]

@@DaxWoodsWanderer I'm getting a swift cruiser pack boat. I had narrowed it down to a few options and it was a super tough choice, but I think the swift boat will work for me.

[@adk_mtnlife]

Another good video! Can't wait till part 2 as well.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Glad you enjoyed it! Part 2 just went up with part 3 coming this weekend!

[@gregschuler1596]

Part way through great vid. Thanks for sharing. Went many times with my Dad canoeing. Real nice place. Couple negatives on the lake, motor boats can be crazy, not courteous with canoes. Can be lots of noise from the cottages and sometimes lean tos. But would still recommend, especially in the fall. Will never understand why people leave trash at campsites. And there are some MONSTER pike in the lake.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Very true! Once I hit the river things got much quieter, which was greatly appreciated.

[@StonedFishing315]

Hoping we will see you out there some time this year!! I've watched yours and adk's complete catalog the last couple days and subbed! We just completely overhauled our gear and will be in the adks all season!!! Love what you do brother!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

I hope so too! I appreciate you following along!

[@MeetMeOutside]

Right on ! So nice, I was thinking about doing this trip this summer, maybe solo. Thanks for sharing man !

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

You should! If you get the timing on the fishing and weather just right it can be absolutely spectacular!

[@MeetMeOutside]

@@DaxWoodsWanderer Thanks man !

[@LethicusNy]

Hell yeah dude great video!!

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Appreciate it!

[@jeremycartier6092]

Awesome vid. Ty for this.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@robertclark4509]

never mind the horse fly bite the fish hook in yer lip must be a pain

[@NikonF5user]

Awesome paddling and scenery - but PLEASE tell me those cigarette butts get packed out...

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

I can 100 percent assure you they come back with me, I wouldn't be cleaning up campsites and pulling fishing line out of trees just to be tossing cigarettes around.

[@russellkovach2775]

@@DaxWoodsWanderer Fair enough! I actually posted the comment and then thought about the fact that you probably wouldn't clean up one mess while making another - but I see so many smokers just toss butts out of car windows or into the water when boating, especially here on the Chesapeake. Quite disturbing...

[@LushFlame-nv3lo]

about 10 week till Saranac lake trip

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Already counting down!

[@TheTazeric]

All caught and released? Why not eat one for dinner?

[@myronkillebrew1303]

Love your videos Jay. I never knew anything about the Adirondacks. Beautiful place. Thank you. Roy

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

So on trips like this I often have way more food with me than I actually need, and it would just feel super wasteful to keep a fish when my food barrel is still that heavy. You will occasionally see me keep a Trout or Walleye as a nice treat, but most of the time I try to get them back in the water to get a bit bigger for my next time I come through.

[@DaxWoodsWanderer]

Thanks Roy, its my favorite place for sure, as I am certain you can already tell.
