Tupper Lake is both a small city and a large lake in the heart of the Adirondack Park. I found the city quite attractive with a real livable quality, not just a tourist town. The lake is magnificent and most of it is quite wild and undeveloped. The highway took me through the town and alongside the lake for a long way.
South of town, the road often allows views out over the lake from the surrounding hills.
I'd love to canoe the boggy edges and meet the plant and animal residents.
With the Adirondack Mountains in the background.
It was a clear, fine day in the Adirondacks.
Across the lake I saw I saw some one's Adirondack style boat house. The lake was actually quite wide here and I had to use my camera's zoom to get this photo.
A classic Adirondack lake scene.
I found a place to pull off the road and the dogs and I walked down to the rocky shore.
Casey was tired of being locked in the back of the car and wanted to stretch her legs, get a drink of water and cool off. Fergus was amazed to see her go into the water. He didn't follow her example, but perhaps he will in the future now that the seed of the idea has been planted.
Casey has never been a swimmer, but has always loved to wade in the water.
As for Seamus, he was quite happy to bounce around in the tall grass and be joyful.
Wildflowers grew all around the boulders.
And after we hopped back into the car and began our journey, this turkey appeared right near the road, quite unafraid. I saw several turkeys and several whitetailed deer, one with a tiny fawn.
