Quiet Paddle Along Auger Flats

Often over looked, Auger Flats is a 2-3 mile flat water on the Sacandaga River, north of Auger Falls. To access it, you drive to the Auger Falls Parking Area, then head to the back of the parking area, and to a trail that leads to the quiet section of the Sacandaga River. From there, you have at least 9/10th of a mile paddle before the first portage, and probably can go about two miles beyond that before it becomes rapids again.
