Adirondacks, New York, Resource Guides

Francis Lake
This lake is off the beaten path, but canoe access is only 50 yards from the road. A small portion of shoreline on this little lake is privately owned, but the rest lies in state land. There is no boat launch, so canoeists will not encounter much in the way of power boat traffic. Park off the side of the road, put in your canoe and expolore this lovely lake.To access this lake; From Eagle Bay on Rt. 28 take Big Moose Rd. to Stillwater Rd, go left. In about 7.4 miles you will see Francis Lake on the left and three posts driven into the ground to prevent drive-in access along a short truck road to the lake.

Beaver River
Canoe access is in a broad area of flatwater. Paddle downstream a short stretch into Beaver Lake, a mulit-fingered lake. Explore these reaches by canoe, but don't set foot on shore, since the entire lake is privately owned (although largely undeveloped) The outlet is canoeable for about 2 miles without obstructions or carries. There is a second Niagara Mohawk canoe access area on the lake, but the one-lane drive to get a second car there is tedious. Judge your time if you plan to paddle back to Moshier Falls. From Moshier Falls through Beaver Lake and 2 miles along the outlet is roughly a 6 mile paddle.To access this lake; From Eagle Bay on Rt. 28 take Big Moose Rd. to Stillwater Rd, go left. Go to Mosher Rd. follow .7 miles to a Niagara Mohawk/ DEC parking area. From this parking area you will need to carry your canoe approximately a quarter mile along a marked trail to the canoe access.

Please remember if you bring it in, make sure you bring it out!!!
Always leave an area the way it was before you got there - Lets keep the Adirondacks Waterways Clean!!
