    I’ve gone from Raquette lake to blue mountain Lake quite a few times but haven’t done the Raquette to St. Lawrence trip. I’m not sure if there’s a portage between long lake and Simon pond cause it can get pretty hairy with the rapids. I’d imagine that would take about 2 weeks, maybe a little more depending on how fast you paddle.. From Raquette to Blue Mountain takes about 2 days to do going slow. Some of the prettiest country you could see and really good fishing along the way. We’d Start at the town launch or golden beach campground and go into the Marion river, then Utowana Lake, then to Blue mountain.

    actually I was just fishing Raquette lake on Saturday too

    I fished Raquette Lake two weeks ago. Not huge numbers, but caught some nice ones. It's a beautiful lake and that area of the Adirondacks is pretty special. Did the canoe trip when I was kid and I remember about a 1 mile portage at some point.
