And just like that, another paddling season has come to an end!

A great group gathered for the season finale, showing up in an impressive assortment of colours, costumes and questionable fashion choices. Let’s just say there were a few raised eyebrows along the way.

The water was beautifully calm, the pre-harvest moon was shining brightly, and there was plenty of fun, laughter and a little adventure to wrap things up.

A huge thank you to everyone who made this paddling season such a success, from our paddlers and organizers to Lake on the Mountain Resort for giving us access to one of the most beautiful and slightly intimidating lakes around.

Thanks for the laughs, the adventures and the good times on the water.

Until next year!

11 paddlers were blessed with an unexpected calm and absolutely stunning sunset on the Bay of Quinte last Thursday night.
That kind of view can bring you to your knees.
The birds were lively, and the fish were surfacing, all having a look at an amazing late-day sky.

A healthy dose of 18 paddlers, youthfully minded and younger, arrived at the Cherry Valley boat launch ready to hit the eastern waters of East Lake.
Compliments to the group looking after the improvements at the launch. The dock has been updated and is very sturdy.

The winds were a bit concerning as we exited at the mouth of the launch, but keeping closer to shore solved that hurdle for the paddleboarders; many of the kayakers went all the way to the "island," seeing turtles, a variety of birds, dock frog, geese and ducks.

Oh, and the skinny-necked swan.

Despite the smoky skies, 10 hardy paddlers ventured out last night for another great evening on the water. Several made it all the way to the Tyendinaga Bridge, while a couple of us even had the chance to practise our sailing skills—until the wind decided it had done enough for the evening!

Our post-paddle debrief on the dock was, as always, a highlight. One paddler discovered that chatting on a gently bobbing dock isn’t quite the same as standing on solid ground and had to relocate before the “sea legs” gave out.

A heartfelt thank you to the Picton Business Improvement Area for supporting this year's Canada Day celebration as a valued sponsor.

Community events like Canada Day are only possible because of the businesses and organizations that believe in bringing people together. Your generosity and commitment helped create a day filled with music, family activities, local vendors, great food, and lasting memories for residents and visitors alike.

On behalf of the Picton Recreation Committee, thank you for investing in our community and helping make this year's celebration such a success. Your support is truly appreciated.

A sweltering Thursday evening on West Lake invited many paddlers to take a refreshing dip.

It was so nice, and we thank Wesley Acres for the opportunity to be refreshed as we launched from their dock area.

There were plenty of wildlife sightings to take in, including raccoons, fawns, ospreys, ducks, loons, and even a swan decoy.

The debrief was snacktacular and full of chatter as paddlers from both paddling groups merged. It was a fun time sharing snacks and stories.
