Join us on — or off — the water!

Paddlers will put in at the Fish Road Launch at Lakefront Park in Cooperstown and paddle through a ribbon to officially open the water trail at Council Rock! Paddlers should gather on the water near Council Rock around 10:45 am, ribbon cutting at 11 am.

You can also join us at Council Rock Park to watch the boats. We’re inviting media and would love as many colorful kayaks and canoes as possible on the water for this photo op.

RSVP FOR THE RIBBON CUTTING HERE

If you have your own boat, bring it! We’ll gather near Council Rock at the mouth of Otsego Lake around 3:45pm.
