Tupper Lake has always been on my radar as a destination, mainly because of The Wild Center. When I saw the pictures online, I thought it would be a fun place to take the kids to check out. This year, we were able to make that happen.
The trip was chill, we headed to The Wild Center and spent most of the morning there. After we went through the Wild Walk and all the sights the location offered, we drove to an area near town with several different food vendors. We picked up lunch and decided to go to the Waterfront Park to eat there.
At the park, Brandon finally got the chance to play with the RC truck that he got for his birthday. It was a Rlaarlo ROG1 that he calls Roggy. While the kids were bashing the RC truck, I flew my DJI Mini 2.
After a few hours at the park, we headed to the mini golf spot that was a minute away and the kids played mini golf for the first time. I was way too rusty to be any good. But they enjoyed it. When that was done, we headed to the Tupper Lake country club for an early dinner and went back to the Airbnb rental.
As the skies got dark, I saw that the conditions were ideal for some stargazing and astrophotography. After I had put the kids to sleep, I drove out about 12 minutes or so to Rock Island Bay and took some photos. Luckily, I decided to do it that night as the next night when I brought the family along it was cloudy and they didn’t get to see that many stars.
This trip has been separated into 3 videos. Part 1 covers the general trip, Part 2 will be the family hike at Mount Arab and Part 3 will be my solo hike at Coney Mountain. I was able to do 2/3 of the Tupper Lake summer triad challenge. I did not do Goodman Mountain due to confusion as to whether it was reopened due to the moose situation.
