Heading through the Cayuta Valley on NY 13, nice farm country.

Cayuta Inlet

Most of the lands along the Cayuta Inlet are owned by Cornell University, which is good as it means they are unlikely to ever be developed. There is so much nature to be enjoyed by paddling this route. Tax ownership can be seen by clicking on the parcels above -- data comes from Schuyler County.

Paddling Cayuta Lake Inlet

Kind of a gray and soon to become rainy day on Cayuta Lake, but the inlet was a fascinating paddle full of wildlife -- I saw wood ducks, great blue heron, beaver, deer. And lots of birds. Later out on the lake I saw a Bald Eagle but I'm not sure if I got a decent picture using my phone in the waterproof case.
