Canoe to Brew From Second Pond to Ampersand Bay

Guided canoe tour followed by libations at Bitters & Bones in Saranac Lake.

The final Canoe to Brew tour for 2023 is an exciting paddle from the State Boat Launch on Second Pond to Ampersand Bay on Lower Saranac Lake.

The group will gather at the Saranac Islands - Second Pond Day Use Area on Route 3, just east of Saranac Lake Village. The tour commences at 5 pm for a picturesque journey to Ampersand Bay.

Afterward, reconvene with your fellow paddlers at Bitters & Bones on Broadway in the Village of Saranac Lake for some well-deserved refreshments.

Please note that transportation is not provided, but thanks to Guide ADK, a pre-paddle driver shuttle option is available for a nominal fee. You can also call them at 585.802.0671.

If you prefer to rent a canoe, MAC'S Canoe Livery can assist you with arrangements at (518) 891-1176.

We encourage responsible paddling and driving for all participants.
