Date: MEMORIAL DAY 2012
Location: Fair Haven Beach State Park
Water: Lake Ontario
Weather: mid 80's
This is a great photo that describes the lake conditions--unusually calm. I have been to Lake Ontario several times before and have never seen the lake so calm.
If the lake conditions are good or if they are as calm, it's a great place to do some kayaking. For the people who know a little about the lake, it's known for its sudden water condition changes and for kayakers that could mean potentially dangerous conditions.
Put in sites: many places throughout the park, the beach is very easy; the rocky areas are little more challenging.
Earlier in the year, The Pond is very calm and connects to the lake via a short channel with a strong current. The deeper you travel into the Pond, the thicker the water vegetation gets, so it doesn't allow for good kayaking.
Little Sodus Bay is a good place to go as well but it has more boats and making sure that the boats see you may be a challenge. So that means bright colored kayak, paddles and life jackets.
Or you can go northeast along the shore where you will see some bluffs. It's fun to walk along the shore or even climb some of the safer bluffs. There is a trail that leads in the wooded area and follows the edge of the tall bluffs.
