Raquette Pond


I took a solo kayak trip today, trying out my new mechanism for carrying the boat inside the car. It worked fine. I put in at Setting Pole Dam and went down the west side of Raquette Pond - a round trip of about 7 miles. I didn't see a lot of wildlife but a fisherman I met near the spot where I turned around told me he had seen a black bear and cub in that area last week. There is lots of shallow water, as marked on the map, with lots of interesting plant life. There are huge white water lilies just starting to bloom and abundant pickerelweed.
