Muller Pond Canoe and Botanize

Mike Corey, Naturalist

Sunday, July 6th | 10 am – 4 pm

Muller Pond is a small (around 50 acres) body of water located in the Town of Schroon, which is in southern Essex County. It’s a beautiful little pond for paddling and includes a fine and substantial bog mat along its western and northern edges. There should be bog orchids present, along with the pitcher plants, sundews, leatherleaf and multiple Sphagnum species that are characteristic of boggy mats in the Adirondacks. There is also diversity amongst the aquatic plants on the pond margins. The pond is surrounded by State land.

Participants must provide their own small, light canoe or kayak that they are able to portage by themselves.  Use footwear you won’t mind getting wet. Bring water and snacks, a light lunch, sunscreen and insect repellent.

We will meet at a location that will be communicated to those who register.  

If you have any questions about the trip before registering, contact mullerpond@nyflora.org.
