Saranac River - Pine Street to McCasland Bridge


Paddling this stretch of the Saranac River brings you downstream at an easy pace, and is great for beginner paddlers. The winding river brings you past the Moose Pond trailhead, an optional carry and paddle, to your endpoint at McCasland Bridge. This family friendly paddle is part of the Saranac Lake paddling challenge.
How to get there
The start to this paddle is at the Pine Street bridge hand launch site, on the west side of the bridge.
By the numbers
- 5 miles of calm, river flatwater paddling
Paddling
The paddling begins right in town at the Pine Street bridge, where you enter the gently flowing waters of the Saranac River. As you make your way out of town it gets quieter, and you begin to wind through a scenic and diverse landscape. Eventually, you’ll come to the McCasland Bridge, which is your take out for this paddle.
