Logo motto jpg outer.jpgCanYou Canoe Registration Ends September 1, 2014 Families, friends & colleagues encouraged to take part in this community Cayuga Lake paddling event Now in its third year, CanYou Canoe Cayuga? (CYCC) provides a low-cost, monitored, all-day paddling adventure for families and friends along the west shore of Cayuga Lake. (Rain date is September 7). Starting at the north end of the lake very early in the morning, participants can put their boats in the water at Cayuga Lake State Park and start their 30-plus mile voyage south toward Ithaca's Cass Park, where all are greeted with food, live music, and commemorative T-shirts. Along the way, paddlers check in at three locations, which serve as launch sites for folks who want to do a shorter trip: Dean's Cove launch, Sheldrake Winery, and Taughannock Park (north side of the lakefront park). At each stop, paddlers receive refreshments, space blankets for cold temperatures, and encouragement to continue! Out on the lake, community fire department and private boats are there to monitor and guide the paddlers and help as needed. Registration for this great day on the lake closes at the end of Monday September 1, so the final countdown has begun. This is a great event for relay, teams, families of all ages, friends and co-workers to try out a paddling adventure on our beautiful lake. Registration information is available at the Cayuga Lake Watershed Network's website: http://www.cayugalake.org/canyou-canoe-cayuga-sept-6-2014.html and via links from their Facebook page. There's also information on where to rent a canoe or kayak, how to train, what to eat, what to wear, directions to each launch location, and where to stay if coming from out of town.
