Paddle the Finger Lakes
Begin your Sunday on the quiet waters of Canadice & Hemlock Lakes—together.
This guided paddle is a shared experience rooted in connection—to nature, to yourself, and to others. Move as you need, breathe deeply, and settle into the rhythm of the water.
Your paddle guide, Lindsey—an experienced paddler who has found peace and tranquility on these waters—gently holds space for you to do the same. As a lifeguard, she brings a quiet sense of ease and comfort on the water.
We paddle with care and appreciation for these protected waters—a shared source of drinking water and life.
Find your rhythm. Let the water carry you.
After our time on the lake, we gather for a light bite—an easy space to connect, share, and simply be together. You’re welcome to arrive a little early for a cup of coffee and lend a hand bringing kayaks down to the shore.
All are welcome—whether you paddle often or are simply curious to try.
