The $5.5 million Wild Walk
is set on 80 wooded acres at
the Wild Center, an interactive
natural history museum in the
quaint Village of Tupper Lake.
Supported by tall, teepeelike clusters of poles whose
pointed shape reflects the
surrounding pine forest, the
elevated trail has a series of
winding bridges and platforms
suspended 40 feet above the
ground, with strategically
placed observation points that
offer scenic views of the forest
and Adirondack Mountains.

Woods “great camp,” visitors
peer through glass walls for an
underwater view of trout, turtles and playful otters in a variety of Adirondack Mountain
habitats.
When you go outside to the
Wild Walk, you will follow a
gently sloping ramp walled
with wood slats through which
you can peer at goldfinches,
blue jays and dozens of other
birds flocking to many surrounding birdfeeders.
There are family friendly
features such as an oversized
eagle’s nest of woven branches that offers an exhilarating
view of Adirondack peaks, and
a 30-foot-wide bouncy orb
spider’s web 30 feet above the
ground.
Signs and naturalists tell the
stories of surrounding trees
and how they feed and shelter
the birds and scampering red
squirrels that are abundant.
The grounds of the museum
also feature trails meandering through evergreen forests
to a boardwalk and viewing
platforms along a wild, placid
stretch of the Raquette River,
where guided canoe tours are
scheduled in summer.
The Wild Walk opens for the
2016 season on May 27.

Hurd offers songs of the Adirondacks
The sounds of the Adirondacks will fill the Chateaugay
Town Hall Theater on June
10 when local folk singer Roy
Hurd takes the stage.
Hurd is a native Adirondacker who spent more than a
decade in Nashville as a songwriter, penning tunes for acts
such as the Oak Ridge Boys, Jo
Dee Messina and the Gibson
Brothers. He returned home
15 years ago and has become
the region’s pre-eminent
singer/songwriter.
Hurd’s music ranges from
bluegrass to soft rock, with
stops at country, folk and
rockabilly –– among others ––
along the way.
He is also passionate about
education, bringing programs
about his beloved Adirondack
Mountains and the people
who originally lived here, the
Mohawks, to schools throughout the area. He also hosts
Rhyme Without Reason, a
songwriting “camp” for young
people.
Hurd’s show will begin at
7 p.m. with opening act Alex
Smith.
The theater won’t be the
only venue in Chateaugay to
showcase local musicians this
summer. Theater Director Jo-
see Allard has also scheduled
three concerts at the town’s
Recreation Park. The outdoor
concert schedule includes
Malone’s Slab City on July 8,
the Busco Bandits from Churubusco on July 29 and the finale Aug. 26 with The Bootleg
Band from Plattsburgh.

Plenty of opportunities for anglers of all ages
There are few things more
relaxing than sitting on the
bank of a river, fishing pole in
hand. Franklin County offers
plenty of spots for both the angler just looking for a place to
kick back and wait for a bite on
their worm-baited hook and
for those serious fishermen
who hit the water in boats with
tackle boxes stuffed with lures.
The following are excerpts
from “Good Fishing in the Adirondacks” edited by Dennis
Aprill.
FISHING SPOTS
Lake Colby and Upper Saranac: Lake Colby is located
on State Route 86, near Lower
Saranac Lake. Fish species
include rainbow and brown
trout, as well as salmon, smelt,
splake and perch.
“Camp and small boat access is available at the [Department of Environmental
Conservation]-maintained
boat launch on [state] Route
86 across from the [Adirondack Medical Center],” the
book stated.
The book stated that rainbows can be best caught during the summer by fishermen
who troll slowly around the
middle of the late.
“Especially off the point
past the former Camp Intermission,” the book said. “Bass
fishermen have also discovered the shallows of the western bays.”
According to the book,
smallmouth and rock bass are
popular species during the
summertime, “as are northern pike in the shallow bays of
the northern end of the lake,”
the book stated. “Live bait and
spinnerbaits work best in the
Saginaw of Square Bays.”
A nighttime fishing activity
that this book deems popular
in the area is fishing for bullhead, which are said to be
present in every lake in the
area.
“Night crawlers, a bobber,
a lamp, or fire, and a few good
friends are all you need for a
good night of bullheading,”
Franklin County and the surrounding areas have an abundance of
fishing spots available for both the serious and casual angler.
the book said.
Tupper Lake: Tupper Lake,
according to the book, is best
known for its bass, pike, lake
trout and salmon fishing.
Because the lake itself was
dammed and expanded to
help with the transportation
of logs to the mill, it created
many acres of shallow, weedfilled water, according to the
book.
“Shallow weed beds provide
excellent habitat for northern
pike, walleyes, and bass,” it
said. “Live bait is customarily used, though white and
chartreuse spinnerbaits have
grown in popularity in recent
years.”
The book stated that the
best time for fishing is between
the early morning or late afternoon because of the wind.
Hendrickson Hatch returns
After a hiatus of one year, the
Hendrickson Hatch fly fishing
tournament will return to the
waters of the Salmon River in
Malone on June 4 and 5.
The popular event had been
held annually since 2005 until last year, when organizers
decided to move to an everyother-year schedule. The twoday catch-and-release compe-
tition will take place between
the dam in Chasm Falls and
the state Route 37 river crossing in Westville.
The tournament will be
bolstered this year by a $4,000
donation from Brookfield Renewable Energy Partners LP,
which paid for the stocking of

“There is a state-mandated
boat launch on [state] Route
30 south of Tupper Lake village,” the book said.
Cranberry Lake: Cranberry
Lake is reached going west on
state Route 3 for 26 miles from
the village of Tupper Lake to
the hamlet of Cranberry Lake,
according to the book. The
lake is regularly stocked with
brook trout, according to the
book.
Smallmouthed bass can
also be caught there. To catch
smallmouthed bass, live minnows are most effective.
“Deep casting in the flows
can be effective, especially in
late July or August,” the book
said. “Rock bass weighing as
much as half a pound are also
present here, particularly in
the flows.”
They can also be caught
with worms and various small
spinners.
Boats can be launched in
the village on Columbian

Fish and Game Club activities
The Malone Fish and Game Club
offers a variety of outdoor activities
throughout the summer for day and
year-round members at the club property just outside the village of Malone.
The cost of a single-day membership
is $10. Year-round club memberships
are $20 for individuals and $30 for families.
The club’s 168-acre property is home
to nearly two-dozen trails for hiking
and mountain biking. Parts of the Pond
Trail and Jack Rabbit trail are the old
Webster Street Road, which provides
access to property owners all the way
south to county Route 41, the Fayette
Road, so be prepared to share the road
with motor vehicles. Also, not all of the
trails are on Fish and Game Club property, so you may encounter four-wheel-
ers on the private lands.
The club also has an archery course
and a gun range.
For those interested in archery, there
are about 15 bale targets and parts of
3D targets scattered throughout the
trails. Traditional and compound bow
shooters are welcome; field points only,
no broadheads.
Those who prefer firearms to bows
will be able to enjoy the 100-yard-long
shooting range. The range is for members only, and shooters must bring
their own targets and target holders.
Everyone using the gun range must
have their membership card with them,
and must carry out their trash and
brass.
Gun range hours are from dawn to
dusk.

Road, south of state Route 3, according
to the book.
In addition to the above-named
sites, state’s official Adirondack tourist
guide lists the St. Regis Chain of Lakes
as one of the best spots in the state to
try for a trophy pike. The chain can be
accessed off St. Regis Carry Road, off
Route 30 between Paul Smiths and
Lake Clear at Upper St. Regis Landing. Motor boats are not permitted on
these waters, and there are many private properties along the shoreline,
according to the state guide.
Other good fishing sites in Franklin
County include the Chateaugay River,
which runs from the Forge Dam across
the border into Canada. The river’s upper section, which runs from the dam
to High Falls, can be accessed from
the dam. The lower section, from High
Falls to the border, has to good access
spots – one on Sam Cook Road near
the Canadian border, the other next
to the Route 11 bridge in Chateaugay.
The river is a great location to find
brook, rainbow and brown trout.
For all the access spots for the Chateaugay River, visit the DEC website.
Trout are also abundant in the Little
Salmon River, which winds its way
through the western part of the county. Some of the more popular spots are
in the section between U.S. Route 11 in
the village of Brushton and state Route
11B in the hamlet of West Bangor.
There’s also the aptly named Trout
River, which can be accessed from the
hamlet of Constable, and the Salmon
River, which despite its name is also
the home to some great trout fishing.
the Salmon River is easily accessed
from many locations, centered around
the village of Malone.

additional fish.
TA partnership with the TriLakes Chapter of Trout Unlimited will provide an additional
$2,000 a year for the next three
years to stock the catch-andrelease section of the river.
The money will be used to purchase 2- and 3-year-old trout,
and Trout Unlimited will also
be stocking fingerling brook
trout in the fall in hopes of establishing a wild population.
Organizers have decided to
limit the number of entrants in
the Hendrickson Hatch to 75

Malone Chamber concert series has new flavor
The Malone Chamber of
Commerce summer concert
series has taken on a whole
new personality this year.
The season will start with
a performance by the Lou
Daques Band, a local favorite,
at the Summer Fest. The June
11 event at the Malone Civic
Center is sponsored by Ellis
Automotive.
The Summer Fest will features a variety of activities, vendors that include food, wine,
beer, crafts and businesses.
For the afternoon activities,
there will be a Poutine Challenge from several eateries in
the area, sponsored by APEX

Joe Riccio and his team choose
as the best? All afternoon the
festival will feature the music of
the Lou Daques Band.
The Summer Fest is slated
to begin at 11 a.m. and run
until 5 p.m. Proceeds will be
shared with the Malone Civic
Area Boards project and a donation is requested.
The Chamber Concerts in
the Park will start on Friday

a fan club in their vintage old
British cars. This concert is

Gazebo.

New summer series a boon to local communities
By SUSAN MENDE
smende@ogd.com
MADRID — For the first
time in 25 years, there will be
no Madrid Bluegrass Festival
this summer.
However, a new summer
music series is being launched
that will provide a variety of
free entertainment Wednesday nights this summer in the
Madrid Community Park, a
scenic area along the Grasse
River.
Tammy Hawkins, bluegrass
festival chair for the past several years, said she and the
other core group of volunteers
needed a break from numerous duties involved with setting up the three-day festival
that’s been held each June
since 1990.
“It was a lot of fun, but it
was a big commitment,” Mrs.
Hawkins said.
Preparing for the event involved contracting bands
and getting campsites ready.
Volunteers also prepared a
spaghetti supper, chicken barbecue and breakfast food for

campers and other visitors.
“It really is a year-round
project. I was luck to have so
many great volunteers,”
At its peak, the event drew
1,000 people, including locals
and those who traveled from
other states and Canada. Many stayed at nearly 100 campsites available in the town park
along the Grasse River.
The annual event was also a
boon to local eateries and other businesses.
Mrs. Hawkins said attendance has declined in the past
few years, possibly because
the weak Canadian dollar may
be keeping some from coming
over the border.
It was launched by community Donald “Bud” Rupert,
who died in 2005, leaving behind the festival as his legacy.
Anna M. Campbell, said

wasn’t happening, she approached town officials about
the idea of organizing a music
series that would draw community members to the park
and help local businesses.
A subcommittee was created under the town’s Park and
Recreation Committee and
the idea took off, she said.
Community Bank stepped
forward as a sponsor and do-
nations have come in from private individuals and churches.
“Madrid is a very small,
proud, wonderful town,” she
said. “It’s going to be a lot of
fun.”
Located near the Madrid
dam, the community park offers a large playground, a pavilion, a community building
and waterfront access.
Having the concerts on
Wednesday evenings coincides with specials that will be
offered at local eateries and
businesses, she said.
She said the series is designed to compliment, rather
than compete with summer
concerts in Norwood, Waddington and other north country communities. The concerts
are free, but donations are
welcome.
