le Voyageur 72 Posted January 15, 2005 Share Posted January 15, 2005 Backpacking, canoeing, or a mix of both???? Link to post Share on other sites
bt01 10 Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 If you have a list for both, I would like to see them. The group is open minded. Link to post Share on other sites
Ever Onward 10 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 I haven't been to NY for Boy Scout purposes. However, for backpacking options I always check the federal and state resources. Checking the forest service's web site, I see that the Appalacian Trail and the North Country National Scenic trail both go through NY state. These could be good options. See http://www.fs.fed.us and http://www.fs.fed.us/recreation/programs/trails/natltrails.pdf Mike(This message has been edited by Ever Onward) Link to post Share on other sites
nldscout 18 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 Our Troop did a 50 Miler on the Indian River in northern New York. The Indian is a small river, easy Paddling if you go a bit further you can end up right on the Saint Lawrence river. Link to post Share on other sites
le Voyageur 72 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 btps.... www.northernforestcanoetrail.org This canoe trail is still a works in progress...but, I would suggest that should you give them a call and see how your unit can help. Maybe your 50 miler could be a big help on sections that need work for a future guide book. Besides being a great good turn, it'll more than cover the 10 service hours needed to complete the award.... Link to post Share on other sites

Scoutman 10 Posted March 14, 2005 Share Posted March 14, 2005 Couple years ago we did the 50 Miler. Started a bit in Pennslyvannia in the Alleganey National Forest. Hiked the North Country Trail through Alleghaney State Park in New York. Got Canoes the last day and took the Alleganey River back towards PA. It was a blast! Recommend it for anybody.
