Join us Saturday, October 4 for fun with a purpose!
Our first annual Paddle-Pedal takes you along Onondaga Creek in the water and land from Lower Onondaga Park to Ollie’s Point and back to the Mile Market Festival. Along the way you’ll help to raise money for “My Father’s Kitchen”, a local non-profit which provides outreach and support services to unhoused people in Syracuse. You can boat only, bike only, or both, and of course everyone is welcome to share in the crafts and food from local vendors, along with exhibits and music at the Mile Market Festival.
- When: Sat, Oct. 4th @ 10 AM
- Where: Launch at the Kirk Park Kayak Launch and paddle to the Inner Harbor Boat Launch.
