We will be available each Thursday evening from 6:00 until 8:00 PM at the new Canoe Launch on beautiful Canadice Lake. We will have demo models of each of our canoes for you to try. Please join us for a pleasant evening of paddling.

The Canadice Lake Canoe Launch is located on Canadice Lake Road at the south end of the lake. From the village of Hemlock take Route 20A east toward Honeoye and at the first intersection (approx 1 1/2 miles) turn right (south) on to Canadice Lake Road. It is 6.2 miles to the canoe Launch (1 1/2 miles past the Boat Launch). The Canoe Launch is a little over 5 miles from our shop.

*Note: There will be no Demo Night July 3 or August 7. Dave and Carol will be traveling.

Canadice Lake is one of the two remaining undeveloped Finger Lakes, Hemlock is the other. Hemlock Lake is the largest lake in New York State with a completely natural shoreline. As such these two are the paddlesports jewels of the Finger Lakes region. These lakes have been much in the news lately as their future may be in question.

They form the backbone for the unique City of Rochester water supply system. The elevation of the lakes is 700 feet higher than the City of Rochester meaning that gravity takes care of water pressure in the system. However a water-sharing agreement between the City and the County of Monroe Water Authority expres in 2008. The County plans a new large capacity treatment plant in Webster which may negate the need for the Hemlock Lake facility. At that point approximately 7200 acres of prime lakefront property could become expendable.

If you have not experienced these lakes please join us this season.
