I've only been on the Chubb this on...Hi, Tim -<br /><br />I've only been on the Chubb this once, but I can tell you that Lake Placid has has a LOT of rain this summer, so water levels are likely to be plenty high. When we were there, the water was good and deep in many spots (I don't think the paddle would've touched bottom), and I don't think there were many spots where it was shallow.<br /><br />The put-in is a bit tricky to find. I am going to suggest you send an email to Fred vonMechow, at fhvonmec@gw.dec.state.ny.us - he's the one who set up the trip and should be able to give you directions.<br /><br />Is your boat lightweight? Are you willing to schlep it a fair distance? Then you might want to look at places like Preston Pond and Duck Hole. The Bog River Flow is nice, and Henderson Lake is a nice gem that has only been open to the public for a couple years.<br /><br />I also suggest Paul Jamieson's book "Northern Flow" and John Hayes' book "Quiet Waters" - both list good trips, and Jamieson's is especially detailed.<br /><br />Good luck!Ellen Rathbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17684750034177425795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194066715822423007.post-47507734673159298552009-07-23T21:07:52.310-04:002009-07-23T21:07:52.310-04:00Hi!

Is the water level always high enough for an enjoyable paddle? I'm only asking because last year I started a backpacking trip near that river and the spot I saw was merely a trickle!Tim Dnoreply@blogger.com
