- Back in the Adirondacks! This weekend I find myself at the Cedar River Flow for two nights of canoe camping
The Cedar River Flow is a nice little remote lake. Swimming, good food, loons, hammocks and good company. The weekend did not disappoint.

The cabbage and sausage! Love these so I can enjoy watching y’all cook, too 🙌🏼
I love cooking!
Can I come just to eat… your two know how to put down some serious eats
We like good food! Makes a trip better
It was nice to meet you and thank you for the kind words about our brief conversation. We are glad you enjoyed your first visit to Cedar River Flow. You got me thinking about getting a Placid Boat works canoe for myself.
My PlacidBoatworks canoe is one of the best investments my wife and I have made. No regrets at all ! Cheers
Howdy!! You found the channel! It was nice talking to you guys at the launch. Have you been on the Placid Boat works site yet? Seriously awesome canoes!
That thing is an absolute work of art!!
This is LIVIN'!!! 100% agreed!! Lovin' every second!! Thanks!!!
This was a very fun trip. Cheers man!
i realy love all of your videos !
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate that!
Great video. I used to go to the Cedar River Flow and the Moose River Plains a couple of times a year back in the late 1980's and 1990's with 3 other friends from work. We were all police officers and enjoyed getting away to peace and quiet. If I remember correctly, that channel that you canoed up until you reached the beaver dam is the same channel that we took but the beaver dam was really small and we were able to pull our canoes over it. We continued up the channel and came to a lean-to that NYS DEC has on the right side of the channel which is just off a hiking trail that is off the Moose River Road. It did take us a few tries to find the beginning of the channel. Your video brought back good memories as two of my friends have pass away and I'm planning on going back up there in the next few weeks.
I have heard you can continue past the beaver dam to continue on to the lean to. We didn't have much interest at that point, it was getting quite hot. If I find myself back there I may give it a go. Thank you for sharing your past adventures. Sorry to hear about your friends passing. However I am glad to hear the video helped bring you back for a bit. Enjoy your time out there. It is getting to be the perfect time of year for it.
Well said. The channels seem to meander around and at times seems to dead end. But if your observant you can notice the areas with current that lets you know you on your way to the cedar river.
I always found it helpful to look at the way the plants were moving underwater. I reached several dead ends. Someone hung an old frying pan up in the tree to help guide people in the right direction. Fun trip
@@ItsGoodintheWoodsthat is a fun lean to ! Have been there several times
I'd go w/you guys for the food alone ! Well done !
The food on this trip was on point!
This deserves way more views! What a beautiful trip
I appreciate that! Thank you.
They camp like we do! (lots of the same spots also!)
thanks for the video
You bet! Thanks for watching
ThNks
Thank you
I canoed Cedar rivers back in the 70's . Like every experience in the Adirondacks it's total serenity. I love canoeing. The mist relaxing experience you could wish for .
Agreed! Canoeing is special! I would like to get back to the CRF to explore more of it. I want to get past the dam and up the river.
How are the biting flies?
All your canoe videos make me happy man! I really gotta do this one of these years.
Yes you do! Canoe camping is where it's at in the summer heat
i want to go with you guys! Heading to St Regis this weekend. Can not wait!
How was your trip!!?????
Leaving is always tough after a successful trip ... Thanks for posting.
It sure is
Missed this first time around! Lovely trip with a good buddy. Nothing better!
This was a fun one! Made for a great time. Thanks for watching and commenting
Excellent content, binge-worthy.
Very much appreciated! thank you
I ran over to see this new upload!!!! Happy Thursday my friend!!!! Fantastic upload, we always love visiting you and showing support!! Have a great week and see you soon!! So glad you shared this and BIG LIKE and loved the video. Have a great end of week!!!!
💗💗 💗💗 fantastic nature and scenery!!!! 3:20 awesome
Thank you very much! I am glad to hear you enjoyed the video. Have a great weekend. Thank you for your support
In 1979, after I graduated from high school and my brother having just graduated from college, backpacked from Blue Mountain Lake to Cedar River Flow and back. That was a lot of hiking, but memorable.
Such a great place to visit
So beautiful. You guy ate and drank well.
Good company. Good food. Good beer. Good fun!
Omg I've actually swam in that lake as a child. Being a long Island boy we always escaped to the Adirondacks. Love it up there. I actually rappelled down the dam in Beaver Falls. Awesome video bro stirred alot of childhood memories. Im glad to see the area is still as beautiful as it was 50 years ago.. and Of course your food porn was topnotch. Thank you for all that you do.
What a spot! Did you ever get any leeches while swimming there? I did not, but someone said there were leeches in there on a facebook post. Very cool that you rappelled down the dam! That sounds fun.
No leeches when I was there but that was ages ago like before sliced bread lmao 😂
Nice production work.
Felt like I was at Cedar River flow
Much appreciated! Thank you
The food you guys cooked was off the charts!!! Another great video!!! Cant wait till the next. It is good in the woods!!!
The food was so good! It's good in the woods!!! Thank you for watching!
Looked like a nice relaxing trip in the Daks. You captured and edited it perfectly! Love the extended footage of the mergansers and loons. Nicely done dude!
Much appreciated man!! I hope to see you out in the ADK sometime.
awesome video. you guys aren't playing around when it comes to cooking! that is some highly refined bushcraft cuisine, I didn't expect the whole pasta thing being added to your meal, wow, must have been fabulous out there on the lake! I'm gonna be heading up to the Adirondacks this spring . Up to Olmsteadville, NY going to test drive a few Hornbeck boats, gotta feeling I'm gonna buy one, probably the 'New Trick 15' . then campout at my brother's place in Chestertown on the Schroon River. Thanks for sharing , I really enjoy both of your vidoes, and I learn a lot!
The food on this trip was incredible. Part of the joy of camping to me, is good food. If the trip allows for it. Good luck to you on your canoe testing adventure. That will be fun. I hear Hornbeck makes real nice canoes. Keep us posted on what you end up getting.
Did a similar trip up to Umbagog this past week, Love my Superior Gear Hammock set up. 32 degrees in the AM but I was toasty warm. Fall colors were nearing peak, gorgeous place . Good stuff Justin
I am glad to hear that! Superior Gear makes on awesome set up! I love mine. Glad to hear you are enjoying yours!
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I should have gotten into hammock camping long ago, these old bones just don’t like the ground any more but with the hammock, hopefully I’ll be able to do a lot more kayak / canoe camping.
Just looked up Cedar River Flow camping and now it's been added to my 'want to go' list. Great video so far. (only about 10 min in at the moment)
It is a real nice spot. Worthy of the drive
Good times ! I will watch later, I did notice the little fawn to the right of the doe ! I didn’t notice that when I drove by !
Seeing those deer was an excellent way to close out the trip!
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Yes it was !
Always cool videos. I've hiked along the NPT side and was always curious about the other side from a canoe. Also had no idea that was man made!
Always have to wonder what is on the other side! From what I have read, they made this lake for recreation. No other purpose behind it other than to enjoy. I thought that was pretty cool
Hey Justin. Very nice video. Take care.
Thank you very much. Cheers
Beutiful God job broder
Thank you
It's an awesome lake to camp and paddle! Camped at that very site. What a view! At camp 5 go straight up there's a small open field up there and I believe there was a camp up there! Found a old garbage dump. Site 5 is actually on a old road! It also might have been an old logging camp!
Interesting information! When I find myself back there I will have to re-investigate site 5. I wish I had gone up that hill!
Awesome trip and video. As this is pretty much my backyard, I so appreciate you sharing your trip here. Would have been nice to run into you.
Dang, you sure had a feast that first night!
For a future suggestion, still in the Adirondacks but at least an hour to 1 1/2 closer for you, check out Pharoah Lake Forest. Even better than Cedar River area x 2!
I didn't realize I was in your stomping ground. I will look into Pharoah Lake. Thank you for the suggestion!!
I've camped in that exact spot.
A beautiful place to spend some time
Try O’Neill flow next. That place is fun, especially if you have an ATV.
Thanks for the suggestion. I will look into it
Thanks for leting us ennnjoyyy
Absolutely! Thank you for for enjoying and commenting! Much appreciated
Man you eat like a king. Great video. Too bad about that grill. Take care, Al
The food on this trip was awesome! It is too bad about the grill. But V2 is in the works!! Thanks for watching Al. Cheers!
awesome video 👍
Thank you Steve
Very nice spot the wind will keep the bugs away
It is very nice out there
Watching from Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦
Loving your adventures. This was one wicked trip, beautiful lake and mountains.
Glad you like them! Thank you very much for letting me know you enjoy the videos! Much appreciated
I worked as a park ranger for DEC back in the early to late 90s and was put up in the cabin at the gatehouse at the Dam area. My duties were to work under the supervision of the Forest Ranger assigned to that area. I was the eyes in the woods they'd say. Checking the log in boxes, paroling the interior sites, 140 last I knew. Issuing camping permits, monitoring road and trail conditions and greeting campers. Had you ventured further through the channels you would eventually come on to the Cedar River itself. Anywhere from 10 to 30 feet wide it goes a very long way with informal campsites all through. And it's loaded with trout that hide under the banks.
Thank you for the information! When you say the Cedar River goes a very long way..... any approximate mileage guesses? And would I be able to paddle a lightweight kevlar canoe up it without destroying it? I would very much be interested in going back and checking it out. Thanks again for the information
Glad you could join me ! It’s a wonderful area for sure ! I think I saw you using my fry pan ! Cheers
I don't recall using your pan.........I blame the Gin.....
@@ItsGoodintheWoods I don’t recall the gin ?
@@MeetMeOutside 🤣
Awesome trip and area. Great scenery and great food and enjoying the outdoors. What could be better.
Could you be becoming a summertime guy instead of wintertime 🤔😁😁
This was a blast brother! ..winter is coming!!!!!🤣
@@ItsGoodintheWoods 😂🤣😂😂
Nice view but not the main beaver dam. You were close though. There are a few miles of good river to explore after the dam as well as a nice lean to up there
We weren't quite sure, but we were sure we didn't want to continue on. Thank you for confirming that wasn't the big dam. Now I know for certain. We did know that the river above the dam led to a lean to. Didn't feel particularly driven to get there. It was fun paddling to get to where we did though.
21:14 good cooking too
Gotta love good food!!
It is river or lake and camping 🏕️ side look beautiful 😍
It was a very nice site. A great place to spend some time
If you take your canoe, turn it upside down and put one end in the crotch of a couple trees and put the tarp over the canoe that makes a nice shelter in bad weather.
I have seen people do that. I would never do that with the canoe I am using. Perhaps I am a bit paranoid, but I would be scared to death that in a windy situation the swaying trees would damage my canoe.
Enjoyed your adventure. It's been on my list of places to visit so you definitely pushed me in that direction. Hopefully I can get an overnight in up there before the end of autumn. A couple of questions...1. Do you know who the maker is of the fire box Craig has? 2. It looks like there's enough air space that it didn't scorch the table. Is that correct? One last thing, I've not completed the entire NPT but have done many sections. If I can do anything to help you out, just let me know. Until next time...be well.
It is quite nice out there. I hope you get a chance to get out there. The fire box is made by firebox. You are correct, there was no scorching of the table. That thing is really cool.I may get the titanium version.....maybe...
I will be sure to reach out to you and pick your brain about the NPT. Thank you
Sir, yes that is a stove from a company called “ Firebox Stoves “ this particular model is the original 5” stainless steel, it’s Available now in titanium. Love this stove for canoe camping when portages are not required. And yes, no scorching. Justin does a great job on his videos !
Ok before I even watch it there better be Bullfrog noise like on Craig's video
Lol! No bull frog noises in this one🤣
Ever notice that it’s almost always the horse-piss beer cans that you find in the litter?
I have!!! It's the white trash specialty. A dead giveaway
Im new to backpacking. How do you guys store your food at campsite? Do you ever have issues with Bears cooking at camp?
I hang my food in a bear bag. On this trip I had a cooler as well. I just leave that out by a tree or tuck it under a table. I have never had an issue with bears
I hate that I keep saying the same things but as usual, killer food and a nice site. Well done. Did any fishing take place? Any luck if so?
🤣. I didn't do any fishing this time. I knew it was going to be hot, and it is a shallow lake. I figured the fishing wouldn't be that great. So I didn't bother spending the money on a license to get skunked LOL
@@ItsGoodintheWoods lol makes sense man. Honestly when you talked about how shallow it was and went for a swim and stood up is what prompted me to ask. Sometimes not having the poles and tackle kicking about in the boat is nice.
Excellent. What type of grill do you use prior this default one?
I have used all sorts of different contraptions for cooking. Sometimes non at all. If weight isn't an issue, an old grill grate is hard to beat
@@ItsGoodintheWoods My thoughts as well brother….cast iron out of a bbq 🤔🍺
@@andrewmacaulay1585 🍺
What time of year did you do this trip?
Late August
Another good video, except when you splash on the gopro and the video is not clear...
It happens
get camera work, caught the essence of your trip...camped at cedar river flow back in early seventies
Thank you very much! It is real nice out there. I hope to get back there someday and do a bit more exploring up the Cedar River.
Is it first come first serve at that camp site? Can you launch for free? And last question did you do bear hang or canister? Thanks, awesome video as always
Parking is free and the sites are first come first serve. So you want to get there early if you can. On this trip I had my bear bag and I kept some of my food and cold drinks in my cooler
@@ItsGoodintheWoods Thanks!
