ADK Evening Paddle - Round Lake

Note: A good rule of thumb to follow is the "120° rule." This means you should wear a wetsuit or dry suit whenever the sum of the air temperature and water temperature is equal to or less than 120°F. Warm weather does not cancel out the danger of cold water. If you don't have the appropriate attire for cold-water paddling, please wait to join us until the water is warmer.

Be on the water BEFORE 6:00pm. Plan to arrive at least 15-30 minutes ahead of launch time. We begin paddling promptly at 6pm.

Take Northway exit 10, go right on Usher's Road to the traffic light. Go left on Rt. 9 and the DEC boat launch is on the right about 1.5 miles up.

We will paddle across the lake and explore the Anthony Kill.

Rentals available through Upstate Kayaks during the Upstate season. Contact them to make arrangements, at least a day before the paddle. (Note – the rental location is not at the DEC launch on Rt 9 so allow time to rendezvous with the group.)

Please sign-up at auntmayor@aol.com by noon on the day of the paddle and give your cell phone number for last minute changes, which will be announced via text if conditions change.

You must wear a securely fastened PFD, and have a white light and whistle (required). No cotton clothing.

See General Paddling info for evening paddling trips.

Plan on joining us for the PCM (Paddlers Committee Meeting, all attendees are automatically members of the "Committee") after the outing. This season we will continue to have Picnic PCMs (BYOEverthing - snack, beverage, chair, ... ) but also look for refreshment at pubs near the launch site, especially those with outdoor seating.
