Ontario Pathways
The Trail is a 23-mile rails-to-trails project
located in Ontario County. The Trail is
composed of two "legs" that connect
Canandaigua, Stanley, Seneca Castle,
Orleans and Phelps/Clifton Springs.
The trail is open to the public year round
for hiking, bicycling, horseback riding,
and cross-country skiing. No motorized
vehicles allowed. No charge for use of
the trail.
The Ontario Pathways trail is built on
abandoned railroad beds. This makes it
mostly flat with only gentle hills except
for a couple of detours around private
property. The surface is primarily grass
with a bare single track of packed cinders
down the center. In heavily wooded areas
the grass is shaded out leaving just the
packed cinders. For bicycling a mountain
bike or hybrid is preferred over a skinny
tire road bike.
Ontario Pathways, Inc. is a private,
non-profit organization with over 300
members. The organization owns,
develops and maintains the trail property
on a volunteer basis. There are no paid
employees. Funding for preservation of
the land and development of the trail
has been raised by the organization via
memberships, fund drives, fund-raising
events and donations from private
individuals, organizations and businesses.

P.O. Box 174, Alton
About 300 acres of the farm are woods
crossed by creeks, 108 acres are orchards
and over 100 acres of crops and hayfields
that make up the beauty they call home.
When Cracker Box decided in 2009 to
purchase the farm, they also took on
the preservation of the land. They met
with the Department of Conservation to
develop a forestry plan and it was then
partnered with Genesee Land Trust to put
in place an easement that would protect
the land and farm for the future to remain
just as it is now. Events are offered in the
woods and land for tours, horse back trail
riding events through ACTHA, along with

Its exciting to fill garden rows with seedlings
each spring that we often forget if all goes
well, our backyard garden will probably
grow more vegetables than we can eat! Here
are some tips to unload your extra produce:
Donate to local food banks. Not all food
banks are set up to accept and distribute
perishable food. Call around to find one that
can make use of your garden excess. It's a
great feeling to know your extras will go to
families who need it.
Sell at the farmers market. Search
around for markets that welcome home
gardeners with bumper crops.
Set up a swap with other gardeners.
Check around early in the season to get an
idea of which friends and neighbors are also
gardening. Make plans to compare notes at
harvest time, so you can trade your extras.
Check out freecycle.org. This site is
organized by region to let people swap
unwanted items for free. Once you join
(its free) you can post messages to let
freecyclers know youve got garden
produce to give away.

Sodus Bay Junior Sailing Association


SBJSA is a summer camp focused on sailing and water recreation education that was
founded in 1956 on Great Sodus Bay New York and has served thousands of families and
children as they enjoy learning and using their watercraft and facilities.
SBJSA provides general sailing instruction for children ages 8-18, including travel racing
teams and also host a local college sailing team for the spring and fall practice seasons.
The camp season runs from June 27 to August 5. Each Learn to Sail and Learn to Race
session runs for a full two weeks. The camp director and counselors (often alumni of our
summer camp program) evaluate the campers and place them in the most appropriate
age and skill programs at the beginning of each session.
There are also half-day sessionsdesigned for children ages 8-10 who are very new to water
activities and need some time to get acclimated to the waterfront.
The primary goal for campers is to know how to confidently rig a boat, sail and return to
the dock. Daily sessions are split between on-shore and on-water lessons. The campers
learn parts of the boat, sail trimming, steering, capsize recovery procedures and more, all
with a focus on fun and safety.
Beginner, intermediate, and advanced sailors are welcome in all sessions. In addition
to sailing, they also provide training and use of our kayaks, canoes and stand-up
paddleboards, as well as recreational swimming.
For the more advanced Junior Sailors, SBJSA offers a Travel Race program, comprised
of two, three-week sessions for the 2016 season. The SBJSA Travel Race Team will train
weekly and travel to select area interclub regattas. The team will also compete in at least
one major junior regatta locally during each session. Racers will prepare and compete in
the Centrals Junior Regatta, hosted by SBJSA and SBYC on Sodus Bay. Later, the travel race
team will compete in the US Sailing Junior Olympics at the Rochester Yacht Club. The Travel
Race Team program tuition includes coaching, sailboats, sails, trailers and boat charter fees
at the respective regattas. Regatta entry fees are not covered.
Visit www.sbjsa.org for more information and details on registration and fees.

ERIE CANAL
The New York State Canal System is
not only rich in history, but also culture.
From its inception, the canal helped
form a whole new culture revolving
around canal life. At one time, more than
50,000 people depended on the canal
for their livelihood. As the population
grew and the transportation waterway
prospered, packet boats and passenger
vessels, traveled from town to town.
Entertainment was prevalent and
families would often meet each year, at
the same locations, to share stories and
adventures...just as they do today.
The Erie Canal is a major attraction
and recreational resource. The canal
had a huge impact on its surrounding
villages, providing inexpensive and easy
transportation of goods, which allowed
agriculture and industry to develop. Local
museums depict the Era of the Erie.
Many exhibits and remnants of the old
canal are plentiful throughout the area.
Today, the canal is still filled with pleasure
boats, fishermen, visitors, and wildlife.
Cyclists, runners and walkers enjoy the
towpaths, their natural beauty and
their history. Culture still abounds along
its banks with many events that are
cherished in many communities today.
The canal provides recreation for the
whole family. Whether you fish, boat,
canoe, kayak, hike or bike miles of canal
are waiting for you. Modern facilities such
as marinas, hiking and biking paths, and
canalside parks make your experience a
pleasant one.
The Canal Way Trail System offers miles
of scenic trails and numerous parks for
hiking, biking and cross-country skiing.
Enjoy wildlife viewing along miles of
green and tranquil trails that line New
Yorks canals. The trail system includes
more than 150 miles of exiting trails
comprised of four major trail segments:
The Erie Canal Heritage Trail, Old Erie
Canal State Park, Mohawk-Hudson
Bikeway and the Glens Falls Feeder

Canal Trail. For more information visit


www.canals.ny.gov.
Erie Canals 192nd Opening
Festivals and events kick off
The Erie Canalway National Heritage
Corridor and the NYS Canal Corporation
have teamed up to sponsor 28 festivals
and events to showcase the heritage of
the Canalway Corridor and the recreational
appeal of the waterway and trails today.
Events include cycling and paddling
tours, canal festivals and concerts at the
waterfront. Sponsored events are just a
few of the more than 400 events that take
place each year along New Yorks canals.
The Erie Canalway National Heritage
Corridor and the NYS Canal Corporation
are proud to partner with communities
and organizations to ensure a lively and
fun season along the canal. Now through
fall, these events offer great ways for
people to explore and enjoy the canal.
Events are a significant contributor to
the $380 million in economic impact
generated annually by canal-related
tourism. This investment in event
sponsorships is expected to be matched
nearly 10 to 1 by local sponsors and
attract 64,000 people.
The world-class festivals and sporting
events held on the canals attract
thousands of visitors to upstate New
York and are a boon to local economies.
From mariners and cyclists to food and
wine enthusiasts, there is something for
everyone to enjoy this season.

Visit
Honeoye Lake
Modern fisheries management at Honeoye Lake began with the placement of seasons,
bag limits and size limits on gamefish. Records indicate that Honeoye was first stocked
with walleye around the turn-of-the-century. Today, the co-dominant sport species are
walleye, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel with walleye the only
species stocked (8.7 million fry annually) into the lake by the DEC.
Honeoye is a highly regarded fishing lake. In addition to its excellent sportfish
opportunities, the lake also supports an outstanding panfish fishery for bluegill,
pumpkinseed, yellow perch and black crappie. Current management emphasis for the
lake is to maintain a relatively high density of predator species, to control the abundant
panfish and newly established alewife populations. Periodic fishery surveys are conducted
to monitor fish populations. An ongoing angler diary cooperator program for sportfish
provides DEC fisheries staff with useful data on population trends.
Public access sites include the Honeoye Lake Public Boat Launch, located at the SE corner
of the lake off East Lake Road. There is parking for 30 cars with trailers and is operated by
the office of the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. Winter maintenance allows
for ice fishing access. Sandy Bottom Beach launching is available for small trailered boats,
cartops and canoes off Sandy Bottom Road, at the NW corner of the lake. Lakeside parking
allows for about 6 cars. There is additional parking near the baseball diamond. Operated
by the Town of Richmond. Winter maintenance allows for ice fishing access.

50th Anniversary Phelps Sauerkraut Festival


FRIDAY-SUNDAY, AUGUST 5-7
The Phelps Sauerkraut Weekend is supported by many community organizations including
the fire department, chamber and the American Legion. Everyone is working diligently to
bring exciting events and old festival favorites to the community of Phelps! The weekend
promises something for everyone!
History of Sauerkraut in Phelps. The Phelps Sauerkraut Festival began in 1967
with a one-day program (The Home of Silver Floss Sauerkraut). The Phelps Chamber of
Commerce started the Sauerkraut Festival because Phelps was one of the largest producers
of sauerkraut in the world. Eventually, a committee made up of members from the
community and community organizations took over the various aspects of this festival
with the support of the Silver Floss Sauerkraut Company (now Great Lakes Kraut Company
a part of Agrilink, Inc.) and Birds Eye Foods. 2013 saw the reformation of the Phelps

Sauerkraut Weekend committee. Again composed of community organizations, they


expanded the festival into a village-wide four day event which includes the Mustang Rally
of the Finger Lakes at the Phelps Community Center, Arts in the Park in Methodist Memorial
Park on Main Street, Public Market Place in the downtown, events at the American Legion
and of course carnival rides and community booths at the carnival site on Ontario Street.
Sauerkraut Factories. The Seneca Sauerkraut Factory, located at the west end of Main
Street, was sold to Seneca Foods, Waterloo and the building was demolished in December
1994. The Silver Floss/Empire State Pickling Company, located on Eagle Street, Phelps
was sold to Curtis-Burns Inc. of Rochester September 1965. It was then sold to Comstock
Foods. Canning ended in 1985, but cutting continued in Phelps and eventually went to
Shortsville and Gorham. For more information visit phelpsny.com/sauerkraut-weekend.

Wayne County, a visit worthwhile


selections, and visitors can partake in events throughout the
year.
Wayne County is home to several festivals and parades, fairs and
carnivals from late spring through early fall. These include Lyons'
Peppermint Days, which delights those who love peppermint.
The Wayne County Fair, a tradition of agricultural and countryside
entertainment, it is the oldest in the state. Cracker Box Palace at
Historic Alasa Farms Music Fest has bands, food, and fun til the
cows come home. This historical site overlooking Sodus Bay was
formerly a Shaker community.
Wayne Countys historical past is alive and well as exhibited in
the many museums, like the Hoffman Clock Museum, displaying
over 200 timepieces, and the Alling Coverlet Museum. The Town
of Palmyra is the birthplace of the Latter Day Saint Movement.
The Book of Mormon was first published here in 1830. Many of
the properties in the area associated with early church history
have been restored, and are an integral part of Wayne Countys
history.
Unique to Wayne County, Chimney Bluffs State Park is a popular
attraction. Overlooking Lake Ontario is a picturesque natural
formation of spires of clay that were formed by glaciers. A
beautiful must-see. Wayne County spans 1,384 square miles
R.E. & H.J.
of local villages in countryside settings, an historical past still
McQueen, Inc. making memories today, and restorative natural beauty to make
Butch McQueen any day there worthwhile.

Rural charm, scenic beauty, and plenty of festivals, fairs and


entertainment make Wayne County a centerpiece for summer
family fun. Located on the southern shore of Lake Ontario,
Wayne County sports 35 miles of shoreline for swimming,
boating, and fishing. The Seaway Trail (a national scenic
byway) and the Historic Erie Canal wind through the county
offering plenty of water recreation.
Sodus Point is a lovely community situated on Sodus Bay,
named for its silvery waters by Native Americans. Often
called, The Crown Jewel of Lake Ontario, there are plenty of
amenities including quaint shops, cozy bed and breakfasts,
campgrounds, marinas, and lots of natural beauty to enjoy
whatever suits your pleasure.
From hiking and biking to antiquing and sightseeing, Wayne
County is also rich in edible culture. Country farm stands,
farmers markets, and lots of apple picking orchards delight
visitors throughout the season. This is one of the worlds
most productive fruit-growing regions, and according to
Wayne Countys Office of Tourism, not only is it the top appleproducing county in New York, but it is the second largest
producer of apples in the country. The town of Lyons is home
to the historic H.G. Hotchkiss Peppermint Factory which
bottled and shipped their peppermint oil worldwide.
Its easy to enjoy spending time on the expanding Lake
Ontario Wine Trail.There are five wineries offering wide
