Oh man, people will probably actually send me death threats for this, but silver lake in Goshen

But you gotta get your boat or SUP up there, I always admire the few paddlers I’ve seen up there and thought the campground hosts should transport some up at the start of the season to rent out. I would love to paddle up there but know I am not committed enough to either buy an inflatable/foldable Kayak/SUP or to schlep my Kayak up the trail!

A bike and a cart go a long way, especially if you come in on the Goshen side

That would require me to learn how to ride a bike😆 but definitely more efficient than just a trailer and man power.

There's a group of guys who've been going every year for fifty years, they bring everything in on those motorized trail carts. It's pretty interesting to see, and definitely shows that making it accessible without making a lot of changes to the infrastructure could be possible.

I’ve done a few weekend camping trips with my brother and our kids with all of the gear in the canoe on a set of wheels down the service road. We had a flat on one trip, which made it a little more difficult, but still worth the adventure. Now we will unload on the Goshen side, take a hike back up to the cars on the following day, drive around to the bottom (picking up supplies if needed) and hike back up to the falls/the lookout on the way back to the lake. Then when we pack out, it’s more downhill with the canoe.

The trail from the Goshen side is shorter than the service road and also manageable if you’re carrying a SUP.

Colchester Pond is another I believe to be motor free, with close boat access.
