All the boats were loaded onto one wagon, the people into another, and the horses took us the five miles into great camp Santanoni on the shore of Newcomb Lake. It was originally built in 1892-3 by Robert Pruyn, a prominent Albany banker and businessman. It is now part of the forest preserve.
We paddled about 5 miles around the lake then had a bit of time to walk around the property before having to head back on the wagons.
The many buildings are linked by many porches.
After the adventure some of us stopped for dinner at the Adirondack Hotel in Long Lake.
