Personal

The waters of the East Branch were placid when I was paddling. I was a bit disappointed on how cloudy things had gotten though while I was up there.

Opposing the Costco development in the Albany Pine Bush. 

Walking along the rail trail you can see parts where the Old Crooked Lake Canal exists alongside the more modern rail grade.

A very tall chimney along the way of the Kueka Outlet Trail past the old Kenka Mills.

One thing that surprised me was how clean the water was in the Keuka Outlet. I would have thought with the village and all the farms along Keuka Lake there would be more nutrient loading and there would be a lot more sediment and algea, although being a fast moving stream helps a lot.

Exploring the ruins of the Seneca Mills, overlooking the falls.

The downtown part of Penn Yan is quite attractive with nice apartments and luxury condos located along the dammed up part of Kueka Lake Outlet.
