For our next on-the -water meeting on Thursday, July 21st, we will paddle the Carmans River. The event is open to all members and non-members who have kayaks. Sorry, but there is no longer a kayak rental on site. The launch site will be the old Glacier Bay Sports store on Montauk Hwy (County Road 80) in Brookhaven. The street address is 2979 Montauk Hwy.
We will meet at 5:30 and be on the water by 6:15 PM
From WikipediA:
The Carmans River is one of the four largest rivers on Long Island and is similar to other Long Island rivers in that is totally groundwater generated (e.g., no lakes). Almost all of the river is specifically protected by the Central Long Island Pine Barrens. All of it is designated by New York State as either a “Scenic River” or a “Recreational River.” Adjoining the river is the Wertheim National Wildlife Refuge.
