Canadice Lake
Planning a hiking event around and across Canadice Lake on the 4th of July weekend can be a challenge with the recent rain storms that have flooded many of the creeks in the area and effected trail conditions. And including options for three ways to enjoy this lake have increased those challenges. But come enjoy our Sunday event with a relaxed hike, kayak or biking around Canadice.
Participants should note that weather patterns can significantly change our events in the Little Finger Lakes area and we will keep you updated as much as possible up to 2:00 on the day of the event, Before you head out, check our website or call 245-1252 for update on this event.
We will meet at the south end of Canadice Lake at the Kayak/Canoe Launch on Canadice Lake Road. This launch is .7 miles south of the motor boat launch. Look for the Springwater Trails Hike sign which will be posted along the road. Note if you are kayaking/canoeing we will meet at 3:00 for unloading and set up. Bikers will arrive at 3:30 for set up. Hikers will arrive at 3:45. All events will begin promptly at 4:00.
Springwater Trail Sign
Participants may choose from a variety of options for the event. You can choose to travel in all three modes, beginning with biking 8 miles, then hiking, and ending with kayaking. This event allows you to enjoy Canadice from the land and the water and to leisurely travel with a group. Participants in the trimodal event will receive a food gift from Canadice Kitchens.
If you wish you can choose only one or two activities and leaders will be assigned for different skill levels. Hikers will hike along the Canadice Lake Trail on the west side of the lake for a distance of 2-4 miles depending on skill level. Bikers will travel along Canadice Lake Road and along the Canadice Lake Trail (depending on trail conditions) for a distance of 8 miles. Kayakers/Canoers will travel along the south end of Canadice Lake depending on wind conditions. 
After hike social will be at the kayak/canoe launch at 6:00. Tables will be set up along the side of the road. Hot dogs will be provided and please bring a dish to pass and your choice of drink. Propane grills are allowed (no fires or charcoal).
