Saranac Lake Flatwater Weekend

Canoe and Kayak Races

 Over 100 boats participate in two days of paddlesport events in Saranac Lake

 In spite of dire weather predictions, a great crowd turned out for the inaugural Saranac Lake Flatwater Weekend. The festivities included the ‘Round the Mountain Canoe and Kayak races on Saturday, and the scenic Saranac River Ramble on Sunday. Race headquarters for the weekend was the Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club where participants enjoyed a spaghetti dinner and live music on Saturday evening.

THE ‘ROUND THE MOUNTAIN CANOE AND KAYAK RACE drew a field of 73 boats. The race started at Ampersand Bay Resort on Lower Saranac Lake. From Ampersand Bay, paddlers headed westward up the lake to the mouth of the Saranac River; proceeded down river, negotiating a short carry around the lower locks, then paddled through Oseetah Lake and Lake Flower, to the finish at Riverfront Park. (Approximate distance 10.5 miles.) Highlights included a number of first time paddlers, New York Marathon Canoe Association Points Contenders, and a number of local participants.

The fastest family class boat was paddled by Ken and Colin Streb of Rochester. Ed Mazdzer of Saranac Lake paddled the fastest recreational kayak. Dave Thomas, of Watertown, turned in the fastest C – 1Stock time. Chris Hoyt and Dean Slocum, of Hinesburg, VT, rowed their guideboat to victory. David Hunter of Lake Placid led the field in the C-1 amateur division, Brian McDonnell, Lake Clear, and John Ders, South Otselic, led a competitive C-2 Stock class, Alec Davis of Ballston Lake and Roger Henry of Rexford were the fastest C-2 Amateur paddlers. Terry Kent led the kayak racers and established the fastest time of the day with a time of 1:24:15.

THE SARANAC RIVER RAMBLE Started at The Saranac Lake Fish and Game Club located on Route 3 toward Bloomingdale. There were two race courses: Novices paddle approximately 2 miles from Pine Street Bridge - down river to the Fish and Game Club. The team of Amelia, Royal and Brian McDonnell and Glen Vandewinckle and Annie Ripton cruised to victory in a Wenonah Minnesota 4 canoe. The 10- mile race for canoes, kayaks and guideboats was a true ramble as paddlers went up, down and back up the river. Spectators had 3 chances to see the paddlers in action!

The Adirondack Canoe Race Series is organized through a new organization - The Adirondack Watershed Alliance. The AWA promotes water related events and activities; educates park residents and visitors about the value of clean water; is developing a stewardship network to enhance recreational opportunities and provide outdoor employment opportunities. R ace sponsors include: MAC’S Canoe Livery, Wenonah Canoes, GRB , Cold River Coffee at the Blue Moon Café, The Hotel Saranac, Gauthiers Motor Inn, Bluseed Studio and Ampersand Bay.

The next race in the series is the Adirondack Arc 9 Miler to Tupper Lake, June 4.
New volunteers are always welcome. For more information call MAC’S Canoe Race Hotline at 891- 2744.
