We are looking for help with accommodations, put-ins, and maps for a trip to the Adirondacks the days of Aug 7-16, or some period there of. We are looking for a place that is reasonable for 2 people and close enough to water that we can paddle most of every day we are there. Being teacher we have little money but lots of need for a few days before school demands our return on Aug 18th. Anyone with links to nice places or any ideas of where we might go would be wonderful. We are adverse to camping in 90+ degree heat and mosquitoes that might carry us and our boats off. Any help will be appreciated.

We stay in Lake Placid quite often and found we can get to any of the other surrounding lakes very easily. There is a Marina in Lake Placid you can launch from but if you want to stay somewhere right on the Lake I have stayed in most of the Inns/Motels there.. though these 2 have the best lake access and prices. http://www.placidbay.com/main.html - they have kitchenette units with a full table for 4 if you plan on eating in your room to save money - the pool looks over Lake Placid. http://www.wildwoodmotel.com/ - we stayed in cottage #9 - was cozy and had a kitchenette plus they have outdoor grils for use. Both of these have great docks as well as pools to cool off after a long paddle. They are both close enough to downtown that you could park your car when you arrive and not have to drive again till you leave. Feel free to let me know if you have any questions as we go up there atleast 3 times a year. *Ally "Joan Spinner" <jspinner_at_peoplepc.com> wrote: We are looking for help with accommodations, put-ins, and maps for a trip to the Adirondacks the days of Aug 7-16, or some period there of.

(Tel: (802) 658-1414, e-mail: lcc_at_lakechamplaincommittee.org, website: www.lakechamplaincommittee.org for a copy of the 2003 Lake Champlain Paddlers Trail booklet (it's more than a booklet). The guide covers both side of the Lake and is full of detailed maps and campsite info. Having used several of the sites over the years, I can vouch for the accuracy of their info. Hope this helps.
