About this map

The Raquette River winds through the heart of this Franklin County landscape, marking a historic corridor of travel within the Adirondack Park. The area is defined by its intricate network of waterways and portage routes, notably the Indian Carry Trl which connects Upper Saranac Lake toward the river valley. Small outposts like Coreys and Axton Landing serve as points of interest for those tracing the history of wilderness navigation and early regional settlement.

South of Stony Creek Mountain, the river is punctuated by Upper Falls, Lower Falls, and the notable Raquette Falls. These natural barriers necessitated the Raquette Falls Canoe Carry Trl, a testament to the enduring reliance on manual portage in this backcountry. Large water bodies such as Follensby Pond and Panther Pond flank the river, while numerous smaller features like Chapel Island and Rock Pond illustrate the complex geography of the high country.
