Trace the Black River Canal !
If you want to do something fun, you can trace how the Alder Pond Dam diverts water from the upper Black River lakes (such as North Lake, Woodhull Lake, South Lake, Sand Lake) into the Black River Canal, the upper part which is still used for moving water to the Lansing Kill which dumps into the Mohawk River and Delta Reservoir in Westernville.

The Saranac River at this point is mostly navigable at higher level flows but it is shallow with lots of big boulders and some rapids. You will be hoping in out of your canoe. Most of the campsites can also be accessed by parking on the shoulder of the road and climbing down a steep bank to campsites along the shoreline.
