More about Floodwood Pond Loop...
One of the most popular route in Fish Creek Ponds in Saranac Wild Forest is the Floodwood Loop.
Drive to the put-in along the Floodwood Road from Saranac Inn off Route 30. Park up by the railroad tracks, and carry boats down to the pond, a short carry of about 75 yards from the parking area. At the take-out point, you can back your vehicle into the water. Paddling is essentially flatwater, with gentle river currents in the river stretches. This is an easy paddle-trip of about five miles or 3 hours, suitable for paddlers of all ages and abilities. Trip can be extended into multiday, looping trips quite easily, as the area is almost as much water as land.

They aren’t terrible, many are only a few hundred feet and often are well worn, some scrambles over banks!
