Paddling the Schroon River

We checked off another river on the Paddler's Pursuit today. We went with Al and Jini and planned to paddle the portion of the Schroon River north of Schroon Lake. But lots of signs at that put-in on Rt 74 just east of the northway made it sound as though you could only put in if you were fishing and the tone of the signs made us reluctant to leave a car there. So instead of doing a one-way trip, we drove to the south end of the lake and put in at a state boat launch there. We paddled about 3.5 miles downstream then turned around and paddled back. There were camps along much of the route and the noise from the highway made the trip less pleasant than it might have been. Quite sure we won't be going back.
