Flatwater Kayaking in the North Creek Area?
Hey Dudes. Happy Summer. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any good flatwater (easy access preferred) kayak spots in the North Creek Area? I've gone quite a bit in a couple of small lakes in the GF region, but I'm statring to get tired of the same old spots. Any help is appreciated.

13th Lake for sure. Also try Minerva Stream -- go north down to the dam from the 4-way stop sign in Olmstedville (the corner with Sullivan's & The Lucky Leprechaun). Either put in there or, if you have two cars, head up that road and put in right at the 1st overpass. Cedar River Flow is beautiful, but read up on it first in the interwebitubes so that you know how to get into the twisty stream at southeastern part of the flow -- that stream is one of the best parts of paddling Cedar River Flow.
Forked Lake is very nice, tho' it's a bit of a trek from North Creek. If you do go, don't put in at the campground (first entrance). Keep going until you cross over the Raquette River. There's a put-in right after that on your right.
