From the Organizer
This late-season event attracts casual and elite canoe, kayak, SUP, and surf-ski paddlers. Enjoy the first touch of fall with a cheerful end of season paddling event!
The canal course follows the lush, gently flowing Seneca-Cayuga canal, which is about 40 yards wide. Experienced paddlers may opt for a challenging open water course on Seneca Lake instead of the canal course.
