"Lights on the Lake" Paddle
Date: Sunday, December 28th
Experienced Paddlers Only

Here we go again! The “Lights on the Lake” Paddle has been scheduled for Sunday, December 28th. We will be paddling along the eastern shore of Onondaga Lake. From the launch site, we will paddle south along the eastern shore to the area near the entrance of "Lights on the Lake" off the Onondaga Lake Parkway and wait for the lights to be turned on. At that time, we will return along the shore to view the "Lights in the Lake" display. Because of the time of year, this trip is only for experienced paddlers who are properly prepared for cold weather and cold water conditions.

Because weather conditions can change rapidly at this time of year, we strongly suggest that you check the Web site both Saturday night and Sunday morning in the event that the plans need to be changed or the trip needs to be canceled.

We will be launching from the West Lake Trail Parking Lot at Longbranch Park. Launch time is 3:00 PM. All paddlers must wear a US Coast Guard approved PFD. We have been invited to Jim Hunter's home for an after paddle gathering.

Directions To The Launch Site: Take Route 370 north from the village of Liverpool. After you cross the bridge over the NYS Thruway, turn left onto Longbranch Road. Follow Longbranch Road across the single lane steel bridge. The launch site is at the West Shore Trail parking area which is on your left after you cross the bridge. The GPS coordinates of the launch point are N43°06.984 and W076°14.713.
