SARANAC LAKE CANOE FIELD GUIDE
Everything Two People Need to Canoe Saranac Lake—Packaged, Light, Ready
A complete, multi-day canoe outfitting from St. Regis Canoe Outfitters that supplies canoes, tents, food and lightweight camp gear so two people can move from plan to paddle with minimal fuss.
Everything Two People Need to Canoe Saranac Lake—Packaged, Light, Ready.
This is a compact, carefully stocked canoe package built for two: the boat, personal flotation devices, paddles, portage and car‑topping hardware, a lightweight cook system, tents, sleeping kit and a custom food pack are all provided so you can focus on route and rhythm rather than gear. Reservations require a two‑person minimum and the operator handles itinerary planning and offers a transportation allowance to help with logistics.

Canoes, PFDs and Lightweight Camp Kit Included
The outfit includes Nova Craft Tuff Stuff or Wenonah T‑Formex canoes, Type III vest‑style PFDs, aluminum or plastic paddles, a custom portage yoke, bailer and sponge, a lightweight stainless cookset and stove, tents and a 35° sleeping bag—everything chosen to keep weight down and performance up.
Food, Packs and Portage Gear Ready
The service supplies a custom food pack packed by the meal, single‑person Sealine portage packs, utensils, cleaning supplies and a dining fly—so on‑water days end at camp with food and shelter already sorted.
Itinerary Planning and a Transportation Allowance
St. Regis Canoe Outfitters provides itinerary planning and a $25 per‑person transportation allowance, and supports car topping with straps, foam blocks and rope to simplify getting on the water.
