Seneca River/Onondaga Lake Park
"In Search Of Open Water"
Date: Sunday, January 6th
Experienced Paddlers Only

Our "In Search of Open Water" paddle has been scheduled for Sunday, January 6th. We will be paddling on the Seneca River. Last weekend, two eagles were spotted on along the river. Because of the time of year, this trip is only for experienced paddlers who are properly prepared for cold weather and cold water conditions.

Warm weather is predicted for this weekend. 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. This is the same launch site that we used for the "Lights on the Lake" paddle last weekend. Launch time is 1:00 PM. All paddlers must wear a US Coast Guard approved PFD. For those who are interested, we will be going to a local establishment for food and beverage after the paddle. We will select a local establishment while at the launch site.

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.
