Four paddlers from the High Peaks area of the Adirondacks were the first of the season to launch from the shores of the Old Forge lakefront headed to Kent, ME along the 740-mile Northern Forest Canoe Trail.

The paddlers departed at approximately 10 a.m. on Friday, May 1 and said they expected to complete the trip in three-and-a-half weeks.
