     Thayer Lake is located in the Adirondack Mountains. Life's too short to enjoy all the fun things next to Thayer Lake. Thayer Lake is right by the Salmon Lake Trail; Thayer Lake is a good location to visit for more than one day, Browns Tract Pond State Campground is a good location to camp nearby. Having a good time in the Adirondack Mountains is trouble-free. Some of the water nearby flows, like Alder Creek; if you're stopping by from Ogdensburg-Massena, you won't  
   be the only one.
You just can't envision the amount of outdoors cool things the Adirondack Mountains has to offer. The Norridge Trail offers hiking at its best, and lakes are such serene sites, why not stop at Buck Pond. This lake is so wonderful. What would winter be without some skiing at McCauley Mountain; whitewater paddling is great on Moose River - South Branch. Stay the night at OLD Forge Camping Resort, and there are other locations here than Thayer
 
               Lake, for example Rose Pond.
High temperatures at Thayer Lake during the summertime are in the 70's. All through the moonlight hours it's mostly in the 50's. During the winter the highs are usually in the 20's, and after the sun is down through the winter temperatures at Thayer Lake fall into the 0's. This lake is so wonderful. Hiking along the Big Deer Pond Trail is nice fun; in the event that you don't mind getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Oswegatchie River - East Branch.
The high level of precipitation makes Thayer Lake a reasonably wet location; August is the wettest month with most rain, and February meanwhile is the driest month.

Terror Lake
...tillwater. The Carthage road went up the Beaver river drainage. Two brothers got lost up in the ridges above Terror Lake. Almost died. They found the lake and named it after their nights of terror. Guys used to hunt there in the fly in days. The last last guy to go there was a drainage ditch runner. Calls himself PH. Take his advice. It's a long way in and you MUST know the woods and be a woodsman. There are plenty of blow downs to go through overland. The way to go is via the end of Twitchell Lk. The Sisters who own the old Teahouse at the end of Twitchell are nice old girls. I saved their nephew one cold November night. They bought me some good whiskey. Anyway that's the way to get into Terror Lk. Follow the old trail into the South Branch Beaver River drainage. Head northeast for a good mile and keep the high ground to your right shoulder. Keep walking about 4 miles and make sure the big ridge is over your right shoulder. You can't miss the lake. There is an old ghost trail marked with blue soap can lids at the base of the ridge. Probably grown in by now. Don't need trails anyway....

Twitchell Lake

On 7/7/2009...
85 years ago my mother who lived in Brooklyn spent her vacations at Lake Twitchell,she said once she went to the adirondacks she never went back to the catskills. I got up this morning and thought of her conversations about the lake and decided to look it up, I hope it's still as beautiful as she described it so many years ago,I still have her snap shots....

Oswegatchie River - East Branch
12 miles away
Would you please let me know what the kyaking conditions are from Inlet Road to the village of Wanakena. I am going to be at Wanakena this coming weekend and am considering kyaking from Inlet Road to Wanakena. Please let me know if the water level is high enough to float with limited carries. Also, the group consists of limited experienced kyakers. I noticed from Google Satelite photos that there seems to be sections of white water - I am not sure what season the photo is from but one phots seems to be from summer and another closer to Wanakena, Spring with considerable runoff. I noticed from your description above that it is class II-IV Water. Please describe the degree of difficulty in general for that distance, and if coming into class IV areas are they visible and easily avoided by carries. If so, how long and difficult are the carries, and how many ? Your information will be greatly appreciated.  Thank you, Rick McCurdy...
