Sunday | Long Pond - Update
Says Charlie,
http://www.fishingworks.com/lakes/new-york/monroe/braddock-heights/long-pond/
To all,
Please look at the link above. Thanks to Doug Smith it appears I have found a much better put in and take out point. Therefore I am changing the put in to this parking lot. Meet at 10:45 am for a 11 am launch.
For those people who cannot open the link.....the parking lot is on Long Pond Road just north of the Lake Ontario Parkway on the west side of the road.
This will be a relaxed paddle open to all levels of canoes or kayaks.
On Sunday July 5th, I am planning on a paddle that will be open to all
paddlers. I am going to paddle Long Pond up in Greece. I have not paddled here
in about four or five years so I am not sure of a good put in point so I am
going to have to investigate this and let you all know next week.
For mor information contact Charlie Helman, 585-266-0424 or 585-303-5968, . |
