PFDs are required for all. Let go of your worries during an easy evening paddle with us as we travel the West Branch of Fish Creek to Gifford Lake and back. This paddle offers great opportunities for photos and wildlife sightings. Gifford Lake is a small, remote, undeveloped lake aside from a single house. After paddling around and exploring the lake, we’ll turn around and paddle downstream back to our starting point. Bring your own boat, or you can rent one or more boats (see info below) for the trip. Our paddle will begin and end at the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) public fishing parking area in Westdale, located approximately 5 miles northwest of Camden, and about 4.5 miles southeast of Williamstown on Route 13. When you reach Westdale, turn north onto Cemetery Road and look for the DEC parking area on your right. Register for the Paddle Need to rent a single or tandem kayak?
