Deciding on Peabody Adirondacks vs. Canopache Adirondacks? Both are awesome. Canopache has more capacity in the adirondacks then Peabody (16 vs. 8). Canopache on its own has less tenting capacity then Peabody if reserved with the adjacent Big Rock tent site. Canopache has more of a forest feel, while Peabody has nice woods plus a great open field. Canopache is a longer and a little steeper hike in. Peabody has more picnic tables and two are covered. Peabody has a closer latrine. Both have convenient water and are excellent adirondack and tenting sites.
