Kayak or Hike Canandaigua Lake Sunday August 18 from 4-6PM. ***BOATERS AND WALKERS WILL MEET AT DIFFERENT LOCATIONS***. Boaters will paddle south from Ontario County Beach Park (park and launch are free, no portaging necessary and there are bathrooms) on the east side of the lake passing Deep Run Park, the historic Thendara Restaurant and Boathouse which are now part of a Mcmansion housing development and, if time permits, past Crystal Beach Park where there are still some of the older quaint lakeside cottages.

Walkers will meet at the City Pier for a self-guided hike, by the boathouses, explore the marina area then head to Lakeshore Drive and turn right into Kershaw Park, following the trail along the lake. At Twisted Rail walkers will head back to the road, cross it and enter Lagoon Park where there is a figure-8 loop around several ponds; there are several board maps along the trail. Then strollers will retrace their steps back to the Pier for a total of 3 miles.

DIRECTIONS FOR BOATERS: Ontario County Beach Park is on Rte 364 aka East Lake Road 2.7 miles south of the Rte 364 and Lakeshore Drive intersection on the right side of the road; if coming from the south it is just under a mile north of Deep Run Park and the CR 1 intersection and will be on the left side of the road.

DIRECTIONS FOR WALKERS: At intersection of Rte 332 aka South Main Street, Rte 5&20 and Lakeshore Drive turn right onto Lakeshore Drive, bearing right to enter the Pier area; if coming from the east turn left at the intersection.

  1. Weather forecast tomorrow looks bleak, calling for day-long thunderstorms. If this occurs both hike and kayak will be cancelled by 2pm tomorrow. If it’s just raining the hike will go on but kayaking will not. Stay tuned 🌞
