Coming Events

Wed, Sep 8 - Paddle Brandy Brook An evening paddle and picnic from the Brandy Brook boat launch on Rte 37. Contact Tom Ortmeyer, (315) 265-8219, tortmeye@twcny.rr.com

Sat, Sep 11 - Seymour Mountain We’ll need to get an early start for this 14-mile trailless hike. Thankfully, the first 5.5 miles are fairly flat, with the elevation gain happening during the last 1.5 miles climb. Gain of elevation is 2370 feet, making this a very strenuous hike. Plan on spending at least 10 hours on the trail. Level 5. Contact Debbie White (315) 322-4066, dwhite46r@twcny.rr.com in the US or John Barron (613) 828-2296, johnbarron@sympatico.ca in Canada

Sat, Sep 18 - Geocaching at Black Pond / Long Pond (New Hikers Series) Learn the basics of geocaching! Find treasure boxes hidden in the woods using a GPS. This hike will take us on a 5 mile loop from Paul Smiths VIC via the Woods and Waters Connector trail to Black Pond and Long Pond. We will search for two geocaches hidden near the ponds. Lunch at Long Pond, then return via the Jenkins Mountain Trail. Back at the VIC we will visit the butterfly house and other VIC attractions. Level 2. Contact Marianne Hebert (315) 265-0756 hebertm@potsdam.edu
