The rain didn’t stop over 300 racers and spectators from enjoying the annual General Clinton Canoe Regatta hosted by Bainbridge Chamber of Commerce! Beginning at Brookwood Point early Sunday morning, the 70-mile race wove its way down the Susquehanna River and eventually ended in Bainbridge. The gardens at Brookwood served as a beautiful backdrop for the start of the race.

Thank you to the Catskill Center CRISP Watershed Stewards, for cleaning boats to protect our waterways from invasive species, and to all the volunteers who made the start of the race a success!
