Be Prepared:

  • If you've never paddled before, learn some kayaking basics here!
  • Bring an extra set of dry clothes, towel, dry shoes, extra sweat shirt or jacket (just in case you get wet) to use for after the paddle
  • Avoid wearing cotton while paddling - it retains moisture and dries slowly
  • Hat, visor, sunglasses and sunscreen if the sky is clear is a good idea
  • Sturdy water shoes are recommended
  • Insect repellent, inhalers and bee sting kits couldn't hurt.
  • Bring an extra snack for the float and an additional beverage if you prefer.
  • Please take your containers off the water-craft with you; do not litter along the river

Welcome to Hammond, NY

A Small Town with Big Character

Over the years I've gone from "can't wait to leave this country town" to moving back to raise our family in this small town, with a small school ... and even a small flock of chickens in front of the Citizen's National Bank of Hammond today.  Yeah ... this is MY town and I love it ... and yes, debit cards are also just catching up (novel idea, eh) ... although a lot of business transactions around here can still be done the old fashioned way ... based upon your word and a handshake not plastic!"
