The Buffalo River Paddle
Sunday, July 22, 2018
Event time 9:00 AM - 9:30 AM
You are invited to a paddling event on the Buffalo River. Our morning will begin by meeting at the DEC Buffalo River - Harlem Road Fishing Access Site to unload our kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, or other flatation devices. And shuttle vehicles to another location further down the Buffalo River. Please plan to arrive early so we can begin paddling by 9:30 and avoid some of the heat. I plan to end at the Bailey Pennisula for about a 4 mile paddle. For those wishing to contine, other optional parking areas are at Red Jacket Park off of Smith Street, or Mutual Riverfront Park on Hamburg Street. I have placed some new caches along this portion of Buffalo River with the help of KatzRule71. What else were we going to do on a 90 degree plus 4th of July!
I recommend bringing lots of bottled water, snacks to share, suncreen, and a life vest and whistle are required by NYS.
The Buffalo River drains a 447-square-mile (1,160 km2) watershed in New York state, emptying into the eastern end of Lake Erie at the City of Buffalo. The river has three tributaries: Cayuga Creek, Buffalo Creek, and Cazenovia Creek.
