Ideal for groups new to wilderness camping, this short-mileage trek is contained on the nearly 4000 acres of the Massawepie Scout Camps property. Explore the famous Massawepie Mire, navigate the trail network or fish and enjoy the great outdoors at one of the many undeveloped lakes and ponds on the reservation. Set up camp on a different body of water each night or opt to stay overnight on a nearby mountaintop campsite. For mixed-age groups, enroll the older Scouts in the trek program while the younger Scouts enjoy the Massawepie resident dining hall camp.
OSWEGATCHIE RIVER TREK

Begin the OSWEGATCHIE RIVER trek with a scenic half-day paddle to the west end of Low's Lake where the group begins a long canoe carry to the headwaters of the Oswegatchie River. The two and a half mile carry may be done in one day or as an overnight venture. While canoeing toward Cranberry Lake, survey several beaver dams, waterfalls and rapids in some of the most remote areas of the Adirondacks. This 30-mile trek may only be attempted by experienced and determined groups.
