Lakeview Marsh/South Sandy Creek
Sunday, July 6, 2008
Approximately 5-6 miles
A Great Trip for Beginners
This is a Repeat Trip

Lakeview Marsh is located at the east end of Lake Ontario. We will paddle along South Sandy Creek to a nice beach on Lake Ontario and return. The paddle is an easy paddle of approximately 5-6 miles round trip. This trip will be slow paced and designed to give beginners a good experience. We will stop at the beach on the lake for a snack break. It is also a great place for a swim and a good place to practice a wet exit from your boat if you have never done it. Bring plenty of snacks for the beach. We want this to be a relaxing trip. Please be sure that you are properly dressed for the paddle and have all appropriate equipment. We will meet at the launch site at 12:00 PM (See Directions Below).

Directions from Syracuse: Take Rt. 81 north from Syracuse to the Pulaski Exit. We will meet at 11:30 PM at the C&M Diner which is located at the Pulaski exit of Rt. 81 north and caravan from there. You will see the diner (which is no longer open) on your right at the top of the exit ramp.

If you wish to continue to the launch site on your own, turn left at the top of the exit ramp onto Rt. 13 and proceed west to Rt. 3. Turn right on Rt. 3 and proceed north approximately 12 miles to the South Sandy Creek fishing access parking lot. You will see the parking lot on the left just after the metal bridge that crosses South Sandy Creek. The GPS coordinates are N43° 42.589 and W076° 10.941.
