==The route==
The original course followed the historic "Highway of the Adirondacks", a continuous route from Old Forge, via the [[Moose River (New York)|Moose River]] through the [[Fulton Chain Lakes]], to [[Raquette Lake]], then via the [[Raquette River]] to [[Forked Lake]], [[Long Lake (Hamilton County, New York)|Long Lake]] and finally via the [[Stony Creek Ponds]] and the Indian Carry to [[Upper Saranac Lake]]. The route then proceeded via Bartletts Carry to [[Middle Saranac Lake]] and [[Lower Saranac Lake]], ending at the New York State Boat Launch on [[Lake Flower]] in downtown [[Saranac Lake, New York|Saranac Lake]].
Over the years, the route has been adjusted to deal with the logistics of what has become a 250-boat race. The route is now broken into three discontinuous one-day segments—the endpoints are chosen with accommodations in mind. As a result, the first day's route now proceeds from Old Forge via the Fulton chain, proceeding to the [[Marion River]] and the [[Eckford chain]] of Lakes to [[Blue Mountain Lake (New York lake)|Blue Mountain Lake]].
