My buddy and I are thinking about backpacking onto the esker this next weekend. Has anyone been back there lately? I'm just wondering what this strange winter weather has done to the trail conditions. If I recall correctly, the trail from Wanakena can get a bit soggy... Thanks a lot!

My partner and I are planning a canoe/bushwhack trip into the Five Ponds the weekend of the 26th. We plan to put in at Inlet, paddle to High Falls, portage, and explore the river from there. Is the Robinson River canoeable for any distance from its confluence with the Osewgatchie? Judging from...
