Paddling the Raquette River from the Flow to Raquette Pond

Since it is a weekend, we looked for somewhere to paddle that wouldn't be too crowded.  We decided to put in from camp, portage around the dam, and head into Raquette Pond.  We weren't sure how far we would go - a lot depended on the winds.  We stopped for lunch just at the point where public lands begin, opposite the town of Tupper Lake, and the winds picked up enough after that that we decided not to venture out any farther.  But we still managed to paddle six miles round trip.
