[[Footnote([http://www.macscanoe.com/classes.htm macscanoe.com - Classes])]] + + ==The route== + The original course followed the historic "Highway of the Adirondacks", a continuous route from Old Forge, via the Moose River through the Fulton Chain Lakes, to Raquette Lake, then via the Raquette River to Forked Lake, Long Lake and finally via the ["Stony Creek Ponds"] and the ["Indian Carry"] to ["Upper Saranac Lake"]. The route then proceeded via ["Bartletts Carry"] to ["Middle Saranac Lake"] and ["Lower Saranac Lake"], ending at the New York State Boat Launch on ["Lake Flower"]. + + Over the years, the route has been adjusted to deal with the logistics of what has become a 250-boat race. The route is now broken into three discontinuous one-day segments-- the endpoints are chosen with accommodations in mind. As a result, the first day's route now proceeds from Raquette Lake via the Marion River and the Eckford chain of Lakes to Blue Mountain Lake. + + The second day's race starts near the bottom of Long Lake and proceeds via the Raquette River to the New York State boat launch on NY 3, five miles east of Tupper Lake. + + The third day starts at the state campground on Fish Creek, off of ["Upper Saranac Lake"] and then proceeds via Bartletts Carry to ["Middle Saranac Lake"], the ["Saranac River"], ["Lower Saranac Lake"], ["Oseetah Lake"] and ["Lake Flower"], where the race ends at Prescott Park in the village of Saranac Lake. There are 5.25 miles of carries.
