Paddling the Saranac River

We paddled 11 miles on the very full Saranac River today.  We put in at Pine Street in Saranac Lake and paddled to a take-out just before the permanent rapids off River Road outside of Bloomingdale.  We were happy to see lots of cardinal flowers in bloom.  While the final third of the paddle was very peaceful and nice, the beginning was very noisy, not only from traffic on the road but from a constant racket from the Trudeau Quarry on the hillside above the road.  Not sure we will be paddling there again.
