Buffalo River paddle route

Description:
The Buffalo river is part of the Buffalo River Urban Canoe Trail. There are a number of boat launch sites along the River. For this paddle, we launched at the Ohio Street Boat Launch (careful of the glass!) We met Gene on the water in his kayak emblazoned with a star. Gene is familiar with the Buffalo River and paddles it often, he said (don't be surprised if you see him out there sometime) The day was a hot day in July and the Miss Buffalo boat was making its tour through the area. We meandered down just beyond the train bridge, and turned around to retrace our paddle. Gene returned to the Ohio Street Boat Launch and we paddled out to play in Lake Erie, passing the enormous navy vessels, the USS Little Rock and the USS Sullivans.The Buffalo Lighthouse can be seen at it's best from the water, better yet at sunset on the water!
