The Raquette River is the second longest river in New York State running from Blue Mountain Lake in Hamilton County through a scenic and historic corridor into the St. Lawrence River at Akwesasne. As the 174-mile river flows north to the St. Lawrence it passes through natural and man-made lakes as well as many towns and villages with varied connections to the river.

Raquette River Awareness Week Begins on July 31

Many people who live along the river have worked together since 2004 to create a river corridor plan, the RAQUETTE RIVER BLUEWAY CORRIDOR PLAN, to:

· Develop a framework for voluntary regional cooperation;

· Encourage improvements to access and infrastructure;

· Encourage responsible use of fragile ecosystems;

· Provide corridor-wide information for visitors;

· Support educational uses of the river corridor;

· Encourage a joint approach to promoting assets, and

· Promote the river as an engine driving local economies
