Kayaking Great Sacandaga Lake

We and Linda and Edward paddled on Great Sacandaga Lake today - the next-to-last large lake on our Paddle Pursuit. We put in at the boat launch just north of the Northville bridge and paddled partway around the island opposite the campground and back for a total of about 8 miles. It was a long drive for us - about 2.5 hours - but the leaves were very pretty in spite of the gray skies. The weather was quite balmy, all of 50 degrees (which was a lot better than the 32 degress we woke up to) and we started out with very calm water.We stopped at the picnic area next to the campground for lunch. There was a large beach exposed due to the low water.The winds picked up on our way back, but they were from the south so we got a good ride.
We went to Melody Lodge outside of Speculator for a very nice dinner.
