Ellicott Creek kayak paddling fun
I went out kayaking today with the girls. Me in my new kayak, and I rented a tandem for the girls. We put in right across from Paths, Peaks & Paddles where we rented the tandem.
We went about three miles upstream to the Tonawanda Creek. We got near the opening to the Niagara River, but didn't go into it.
Here's my kayak, for those that didn't see it on Facebook.
Kids on their tandem
Random shopping cart. We also saw plenty of cans and bottles. We pulled out three balls and a lunch box. We somehow lost our water bottle, but removed more trash than accidentally left, so I don't feel too guilty.
gas station on the water, guess those motor driven boats need to fill up somewhere!
need a phone?
pretty blue bird!
We also saw ducks, geese, and a blue heron. Turtles sunning themselves, dogs hanging out on their lawns, people fishing. In the larger waters, the wake of larger boats created waves.
Much sun, much fun, and a sunburn on my KNEES!
I'll be going out on the water again soon!
I'm thinking making going out on the water my birthday routine. Last year was whitewater rafting in Letchworth Park, this year kayaking on Ellicott Creek. Fun tradition to start...
