Fall Outing Paddle: Upper Osgood River (Sat #10)

Sat, Sep 19, 2026, 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM EDT
Saranac Village Young Life Camp, 4014 NY-30, Saranac Lake, NY Map

The group will meet on campus and then caravan to the Osgood Pond put-in, with an estimated on-the-water time of 10 a.m.

We will paddle across Osgood Pond to the river, passing the White Pine Camp (the “summer White House" of the Calvin Coolidge Administration). Once on the river, we will pass through a wetland including a muskeg, rich in plants and birds. We will paddle to the rapids where the river goes underground (to emerge in several miles as the Lower Osgood River). We’ll return back to our starting point after enjoying lunch at the only spot on the river where it is possible to get out on dry land.

Meeting place: Young Life Campus lodge dining room
Travel distance: Caravan 20 miles from campus to the boat launch
