Bartlett Carry is about .4 mile long and from its lower end, the route runs easterly through Middle Saranac Lake. There are lean to's on Rice Point on the east shore of the bay leading to Weller Pond and on the north shore of Weller Pond. There is another lean to on the far east shore of Middle Saranac Lake just north of the outlet where the canoeist enters the Saranac River. Middle Saranac Lake, along with Lower Saranac Lake and Weller Pond comprise the Saranac Lakes Camping Area. Normal camping service charges found at public campgrounds also apply.
Any camping including use of the lean to's, requires purchasing a camping permit.
These are available from the caretaker at the State Bridge on Rt. 3 or on a camping site from an attendant on patrol. On Lower Saranac Lake, two lean to's are located on the north shore of what is known as Norway Point. Keep to the south shore, passing the large bay on the right and using the bold rocky headland of Bluff Island as a landmark. Opposite Bluff Island, to the south is the inlet to First and Second Ponds and the Saranac River.
