The 740-mile water trail links the watersheds of northern New York, Vermont, Québec, New Hampshire, and Maine, following Native American travel routes through the rivers of this region. The Northern Forest Canoe Trail is more than just the longest inland recreational paddling trail in the Northeast. It is a living reminder of our history, where rivers were both highways and routes of communication. Each map offers extensive human and natural history information, illustrated with color photographs.

This season introduces the first 4 of 13 maps that will guide paddlers on this spectacular new water byway. Maps 1 and 2 in the series illustrate the trail's initial sections in New York's West and Central Adirondacks. Maps 12 and 13 trace the routes ending sections in the Allagash region of northern Maine. Maps for the remaining sections will be introduced in each of the next 3 seasons until the entire trail series is complete.

Adirondack North Country, East: New York, Saranac River to Lake Champlain (trail section 3): This section of the Trail follows the Saranac River northeast out of the Adirondack highlands into the lowlands around Lake Champlain, the 6th largest lake in America. Using this map paddlers will enjoy 61 miles of varied river travel (often challenging), passing through some ponds on the upper stretch and dropping through rapids to the Lake. As the elevation of the river drops, the forests and animals change from more boreal, colder-weather species (moose, gray jay, black-backed woodpecker, conifer forests of spruce, fir, tamarack) to lower-elevation, warmer-weather species (scarlet tanager, northern cardinal, hardwood forests with red oak). The remains of dams, a sawmill, an iron forge, and a glass factory show the previous industrial life of the river, which is now primarily used for recreation and power generation..

Every year a glittering palace made from blocks of ice rises several stories above the wintry landscape of Saranac Lake, New York. The workers who build the palace, which is the centerpiece of the annual winter carnival, come from the village and from a nearby prison, Camp Gabriels. Inspired by this real-life event and told in the voice of a young girl who lives nearby, the account of the preparation and creation of the palace and of the festive days that follow gains special poignancy from the fact that the narrator's uncle is among the prisoners on the construction crew. Ted Rand's vibrant watercolors join Deborah Blumenthal's sensitively written text in a unique tribute to a century-old tradition and the community spirit that warms winter's iciest days.

A colorful portrait of a vanished time and a way of life filled with many memorable characters. As a child in the 1930s, Spence spent several summers on Upper Saranac Lake, over which his imperious blue-blooded Kentucky grandfather presided. Using his grandfather as a focal point, the author depicts the construction, decor and lifestyle associated with the great camps. While his grandfather indulged a life of patrician arrogance by recasting his ancestors as Civil War heroes and cultivating the local elite, Bud, the young scion of his line, took up more practical pursuits. His tutor was the camp's handyman and erstwhile guide, an uncouth Swede who relished profanity and waged daily battles with a tin boat..
