I go up to the Adirondacks every summer with my buddy, sometimes for fishing, sometimes for trail running, but we always go straight wilderness rules - 150 feet from water, running or still, and 400 feet from the trail. Usually look for a pond about a half-mile in, bushwhack, and then set up camp right at the 150 foot line. There's very few better things in the world than running a High Peak in the morning, catching a few trout early on, and then enjoying them back at camp, heading out to have a nip of bourbon and watch the sunset on the edge of a lake where the closest warm body is a mile or two away..
