Boreas River

Looking North from the camping area along NY 28N... This part is relatively flat water, but fast moving (in part due to spring), and below NY 28N, you start to get back into the rapids.

What is ProcellaCOR herbicide and how does it target milfoil?

What is ProcellaCOR herbicide and how does it target milfoil?

ProcellaCOR is a systemic herbicide that mimics a plant’s growth hormone. It kills the entire plant, leaving decomposing biomass at the bottom of the lake. The active ingredient is Florpyrauxifen‐benzyl, and it can be used at much lower dosages than previous herbicides used to treat Eurasian watermilfoil, including ones previously used or considered on Adirondack lakes.

The herbicide is registered for use in rice-growing operations and for weed control in freshwater. In the Adirondacks, herbicide proponents hope ProcellaCOR can help fight back Eurasian watermilfoil, one of the park’s most pervasive invasive weeds. Documents filed with the APA from region’s seeking permission to use ProcellaCOR project it will control invasive milfoil for three seasons.

Black Fly Season Camping

Black fly season camping is really pleasurable after dark when the black flies have disappeared for the night.🐜 Camping this time of the year really more of a night experience than one of enjoying the day.🌃 Often this time of year the nights are quite mild so it’s best to stay up until one or two in the morning and sleep in until nine or ten, doing your best to ignore the early morning sun. 🌄
