LITTLE TUPPER LAKE & ROCK POND & ROUND LAKE canoe camping. Adirondack Park.
William C. Whitney Wilderness Area. Aug 4-7 (Wed-Sat), 2022 - Hoped to get a campsite down at the W end of the lake, well away from civilization (no sights or sounds except for 1 or 2 planes flying over). Moderate headwind - waves up to 1'. After paddling 3.5 miles, found #10 available & it was big enough for our group of 8 - long sand beach made for a good landing & swimming. Red pines & hemlocks on a small bluff & a good view. Thunderbox & fire ring. After setting up camp, paddled around the islands near the S shore. Loon. Got out for a look at the Camp Bliss campsite - buggy, not desirable. Headed up Charley Pond Outlet, under a very low bridge (slipped over a minor beaver dam, no other obstructions), & further upstream, over 1.5 miles from the lake, 40'-60' wide, lots of pickerelweed. Back to camp. Merlins. Lots of loony tunes. 11 miles on the day. Day 2 - Colorful sunrise with loony...
