| Site owner: | New York State | |
| Events planned for this site: | None at this time | |
| Comments and news about this site: | The WNYWA has been
working with the state on developing this site. Just about every year, there is another
developmental study on the site. We are currently trying to get closer access to the
water. This would be a fantastic site if the walk to the water was closer. (note: when the
site was privately owned, die-hard sailors would brave the walk and the trespassing charge
to sail here, is boasts some of the cleanest wave faces on this side of the lake..) |
