Already it's the second half of the month. 🍁 September is rapidly fading into October, with lots of color and cooler weather for the coming weeks and months. I'm so busy these days, but look forward to many adventures in changing seasons.

Franklin Falls Pond – Saranac River Campsites

 Franklin Falls Pond - Saranac River Campsites

This shows the campsites south-west of the Franklin Falls Pond/Reservoir. 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.

Sprague Pond

 Sprague Pond

Located a quarter mile north of Cedar River Road, about half way to Cedar River Flow at Moose River Plains, is the trail head for Sprague Pond. It's a short hike a quarter mile north of the road, along it's outlet creek to a modestly sized, swampy pond. Campsites along the pond are very informal, and lightly used.
