Jacks Reef

Sunday, July 15, 2018 (Launch Time 1:00 PM)

A nice leisurely paddle on the Seneca River out onto Cross Lake. This is a good novice paddle, unless it's windy on Cross Lake which can cause some waves or chop. A spray skirt would be helpful. Please be sure that you are properly dressed for the paddle and have all appropriate equipment. There is an island in the middle of the lake that just begs a stop for snacks (This depends on the water level). 

The paddle will begin at 1 PM at the Jack's Reef Port O Call. We have been asked to move cars across the street from the restaurant after unloading.

Note: We typically stop half way through the paddle for a break.  Feel free to bring something to snack on.  Also, be sure to note the weather conditions by clicking the "Local Weather Forecast" button, and check the website for last minute changes or cancellations.

Directions From Syracuse: From Syracuse, take 690 west past the fairgrounds toward B'ville. Take the Jones Road exit. At the bottom of the ramp, turn left. Go straight on Jones Road, it turns into Brickyard Rd. and ends at Route 173. Turn right on Route 173. Keep going straight through Warners and stay on Route 173, which ends at Route 31. Cross Route 31 and go straight. About 2 miles after you cross Route 31, you'll turn right on Plainville Rd. and right again into the Jack's Reef Hotel parking lot.
