The Northern Forest Canoe Trail (NFCT), a water trail extending from Old Forge to Fort Kent, ME is hosting the Second Annual “740 Miles in A Day” event on Saturday, July 30.
Recently named “America’s Best Canoe Trail 2011” by Outside Magazine, NFCT is hosting the free event to get paddlers out on the water and raise awareness of Trailside businesses and communities.
Don’t worry if you can only paddle a mile or two, “740 Miles in A Day”, only refers to the length of the Trail. According to the event rules, you can paddle any distance you wish and on any section of river, lake or brook that is part of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail.
Organizers only ask that you pre-register and report back on the mile or miles you paddled. The goal is to have multiple paddlers across the Trail contributing a total number of miles paddled that meets or exceeds 740 miles.
This year’s business sponsors of the event include Adirondack Exposure of Old Forge, Adirondack Lakes and Trails Outfitters of Saranac Lake, and Ecopelagicon of Rangeley, ME.
