Scajaquada Canoe Club Reinhabits Hoyt Lake

This past Sunday, the Scajaquada Creek Canoe Club, many of whom are also Riverwatch Captains, took advantage of splendid late-October weather to paddle Hoyt Lake and partway downstream on the Scajaquada. Picking up garbage along the way, the group also spotted a leak in the dam that separates the creek from Hoyt Lake's north bay. A couple of lightposts that had been replaced along the expressway were also seen discarded into the stream! One interesting fact about the paddle: one Canoe Club member was dropped off at her job at the Historical Society--possibly the first commuter trip along the Scajaquada by canoe!
