The Raquette River

There are many natural highlights at the Red Sandstone Trail in Potsdam, including the Hannawa gorge with its class four rapids, The Sugar Island Flow, and a predominant pine, hemlock and beech forest. This four season trail is perfect if you are looking to get out and experience the call of the wild close at hand. I took this shot on top of a hill that overlooks the river. This image captures the magnificent flow of the water moving northward. A great image overall!
