We finally paddled on Henderson Lake today. It has been on my list for a fall paddle for years. Though the fall colors are past their prime, they were still neat; but would have been spectacular in the sun.
We were expecting sunshine, but it didn't show up until late afternoon.
The lake is small (though we managed to paddle 6 2/3 miles around it; plus the 1/3 mile portage to get to it) and is surrounded by lots of rocky cliffs and many picturesque waterfalls. This one is the creek coming in from Preston Ponds. We stopped at the lean-to near here for lunch.
We finally got close to the red moss I've been seeing. It seems to be sphagnum that is changing color.
This is the size of the Hudson River as it flows out of Henderson Lake.
