Although some lakes and ponds in the Adirondacks allow power boats, we did not kayak on those bodies of water. Because we kayaked on "remote" waters, we did not find trash, graffiti or other signs of the masses. I guess most of the lakes we visited required some work on our part to get there before we got the kayaks wet. That eliminated the hooligans who might destroy such places with their carelessness and disrespect for what mother nature has provided us. I believe on this particular day (see photo), we saw one other group of kayakers, who respected our privacy with a distant wave hello and paddled on.
Here, in this photo, Sharon can be seen enjoying the peace and tranquility of Slang Pond. The rock outcropping Sharon is sitting on is part of a designated campsite, one of only 2 sites on Slang Pond. Most of the lakes we visited had designated campsites, and each one of those campsites was carefully placed to take advantage of something unique to that particular lake and its surroundings.
