Canoes Ready to Launch in the Adirondacks

We were at Stillwater Reservoir, a man made lake, in the Western Adirondacks at a Wooden Canoe Heritage Association gathering to go out canoeing. Here we are gathering canoes at the shore of Stillwater getting ready to head out this chilly morning at 45-50 degrees in the rain to explore the lake. There is a kevlar canoe in the foreground and a real wood and canvas canoe in the background. In all we had about 20 people go out onto the lake for some Fall paddling.
