Sugar Creek Paddle Monday, July 28
Marcia B Barrett
Hello paddlers, We will meet at 9:45 and launch at 10:00 from behind the FingerLakes Museum located near the intersection of Rt. 54A and Cr.29, behind the Branchport Fire Department located on Rt. 54A.. There are entrances off both 54A and cr 29. Drive BEHIND the barn to the boat launch, do not use the boat launch to the south of RT 54A unless you want to miss out on donut holes prior to the paddle...... We will paddle south from the museum on Sugar Creek passing through the townsend Grady Wildlife Preserve exploring the marshlands while we make our way to the west branch of Keuka Lake, where we will paddle up the west side of the branch before returning on the east side and back into Sugar Creek. There are Porta Pottis at the museum as well as hiking trails. There is a section of Sugar Creek to paddle north of the museum that can also be explored if time permits, estimate this to be a 2 - 2 1/2 hour paddle. A good portion of the paddle will be on open water and subject to conditions....Plans could change a bit!! Bring water, a snack, extra clothes for just in case, and be prepared to sign our liability waiver. See you on the water, Marcia and Peg |
