CYCC 2014: Directions to start points
All start locations are reached from Route 89 on the west side of Cayuga Lake. We will install signs on 89 to direct you to the start locations. The signs will carry our logo and the “CanYou Canoe Cayuga?” title.
Directions to find the rest stops from the water will be given to you in your registration papers on the day. Signs will be placed to be visible from the water.
Cayuga State Park is located just off 89 just east of Seneca Falls and just south of Garden Street. It is well sign-posted. The launch site is at the north end of the park at a boat launch ramp. We will have a registration table set up near the launch site. You may park your car for the day nearby but may have to pay.
Dean’s Cove Marine State Park is directly off 89 about 1 mile south of Goosewatch Winery or if coming from the south soon after Vine Yard Road and of course about 6 miles north of the Sheldrake Point turn off. The launch site is a ramp into a small protected harbor. You can park your car at the launch site.
Sheldrake Winery is to the east of 89 and is well sign-posted. There are several turns you can take and all are signed. We will not be putting a sign on 89 at these turns. The launch site is opposite the winery parking at their dock. You will be able to park your car at the back of the winery.
Taughannock State Park is located just off 89 and is well sign-posted. There are two entrances and we will be using the northern one, just north of Taughannock Creek, and launching on the beach on the north side. You can leave your car parked nearby if you wish.
Cass Park is located about half a mile down the Cayuga lnlet at Ithaca. You should enter the inlet on the right side and pass the marina entrance. We will be finishing the event at Treman Marine park and taking out the boats at the boat launch on the right side a hundred yards or so past the marina entrance. We will have a table for recording your finish and help with your boat.
The party will be in Cass Park adjacent to the landing area.
Rides back to cars at Taughannock and Sheldrake will be coordinated here.
