Can You Canoe Cayuga is a fun, challenging paddling event for paddle craft of all types and for paddlers of all skill levels.
In 2011, The Cayuga Lake Watershed Network, a non-profit organization whose sole purpose is education and advocacy for the protection of the Cayuga Lake Watershed, created the Can You Canoe Cayuga event to highlight the beauty of Cayuga Lake in the Finger Lakes region of upstate New York, and to raise awareness and support for active stewardship of this beautiful resource. For the past 5 years paddlers have traveled the 38-mile length of Cayuga Lake in canoes, kayaks, SUPs, dragon boats and outrigger canoes.
This year we have an exciting new loop format which supports all skill levels, and creates a festive, family-friendly environment centered at Stewart Park in Ithaca, NY.
