Stillwater Inlet flows into the northwest arm of Raquette Lake — a quiet backwater corridor in the lake's complex shoreline system, accessible primarily by paddle from the main lake or from the network of channels that link Raquette to its surrounding ponds. The name holds: this is slow water, marshy edges, the kind of inlet that rewards a morning canoe with loons, herons, and the occasional beaver lodge tucked into the alders. No road access, no trail register — just a destination for boaters working Raquette's west side or connecting through from Forked Lake. Launch from the state boat launch on NY-28 (south shore) or from the Durant Road put-in if you're coming from the north.
