Little River

Little River winds through the northwestern edge of the Adirondack Park near Tupper Lake — a flat-water system that drains timber country and beaver meadows before entering the Raquette River drainage. The watercourse sees little recreational traffic compared to the Raquette or the Bog River, but it's the kind of place paddlers find when they're looking for solitude over scenery: slow current, soft banks, and stretches where you won't see another boat all day. No established put-ins or maintained access points in the state records, which means this is a river you reach by local knowledge or by following logging roads off NY-3 or NY-30. Check a DeLorme and ask at a Tupper Lake paddle shop before you commit your afternoon.
