Monday Aug. 18th paddlepl

[peg jacobs]

This Monday we'll be paddle on the Seneca Canal from Waterloo to Seneca lake and return.  This is a fairly sheltered paddle from wind - but the weather looks HOT.  Be sure to bring sunscreen and lot's of water!!!

We will launch at the Oak Island Community Center Park im Waterloo.   There is a concrete pad for launching, ample parking and bathrooms.  We'll paddle about 5 miles to the park at the end of the lake (we will NOT be paddling on the lake unless it is like glass and the group wants to paddle there...it has NEVER been condusive in the past).  We'll stop for lunch (bring a lunch) then return to our cars.  This is about a 4 hour paddle (1.5 each way plus lunch time).  Don't hold us to the time however - we never know for sure!!

Directions:  From Rochester - take the I 90 to exit 41, right of exit 41 turn right off exit 41, turn onto 414 south to rt. 5/20.  Turn right on to 5/20(west)  travel to Oak St in Wateroo (across from LaFayette Park (second left after the intersection of 5/20 and Main St and Virginia St. 

Oak St. crosses a little bridge to a park like area - drive around to launch site '
