Salmon Lake Outlet is the short connecting stream between Salmon Lake and the Raquette Lake chain — one of the original Adirondack navigation routes before the state highway system replaced steamer and guideboats. The outlet joins Salmon Lake to South Inlet (Raquette Lake proper) and was once part of the through-route from Blue Mountain Lake to Raquette: canoe or kayak water in early summer, low and technical by August. Today it's more of a paddler's footnote than a destination — narrow, brushy, and prone to blowdown — but the old maps show it as a legitimate link in the central Adirondack waterway. If you're based on Salmon Lake and want to loop into Raquette, this is your exit.
