CANOE TRIP CHANGED TO HIKE We will NOT be canoeing on Canadarago Lake as the water is quite high and it seems more would like to hike than do another water event. So we have decided to return to a hiking area where we have permission to lead ADKers in the Greenwoods Conservancy area of the Hartwick State Forest area where we have hiked in the past - but possibly taking a trail we may not have taken the group on before. We will decide which trail depending on conditions. | ||
