We led an ADK paddle today on Forked Lake. Nine of us took off from the carry from Raquette Lake and headed west. The wind was stronger than forecast, but we were sheltered in that part of the lake. We paddled along the north shore and then up the Brandreth Lake Outlet. The water was high enough to allow us to get over two beaver dams so we got as far as the tree which blocks the stream. It would have taken a lot of effort to get all of us around it, so we elected to turn around. The two campsites on the north shore were occupied and those on the south shore were hard to get into due to high water, so we ended up lunching back at the dock where we started. The total paddling distance was about 5 1/4 miles.
