of the Adirondack Mountains is a great plus for this river. If you hurry you can run this stretch in a day but why not make it an overnighter, so go ahead and pack your camp stove.
Briefly about the general area:
Pixley Falls State Park is a good place to stretch your legs a bit, and since you're here you can take a hike along the Stone Dam Trail. So much entertaining stuff to do here in the Adirondack Mountains, too nice to be true.
This is a popular place for people from Forestport; if the weather is good, you can go for a hike along the Forty Mountain Trail. This is a really good river.
