September Long Weekend Trip Options

I am considering my options for a mid to late September trip. Probably do only one. Some possibilities:

1) Moose River Plains in fall foliage season – always real nice, the Wakely Firetower is open again!

2) Tug Hill Plateau and Black River Valley – maybe meet old friend from Boy Scouts, see Confusion Flats, Whitestone Gulf, Lowville

3) North Lake Reservoir – Kayak, explore now that the crowds and motor boats are mostly gone

4) Early Autumn hike in the Catskills, camp at Burnt Rossman?

5) Jones Pond and the St Regis Canoe area

Thinking about this summer camping in Western Adirondacks / Black River Valley 🏕

It’s been about ten years since I’ve been up that way for a week in summer, and I’m tired of the Finger Lakes. I’ve done them for over a decade, and while it’s nice that you can set up camp for a full week on the National Forest, it has gotten tiresome doing it every year.

Some things I would like to do this year:

Explore more of Confusion Flats-area, especially hike the flats and the many horse trails
Hike to the Woodhull Fire Tower
Hike to Stillwater Fire Tower
Visit the Frank Jadwin State Forest and Greenwood Creek Forest north of Lowville
Paddle parts of the Beaver River
Visit Lake Bonaparte
