Today we checked out Canadice Lake for our planned field trip on day 3 of the Water Worlds! camp. The lake provides a perfect example of an undeveloped lake shore. There were hardly any houses in sight, unlike here on Seneca Lake where there are lots of buildings and houses surrounding the lake. We walked along the historic Canadice Lake Trail to find paths down to the lake shore
where the campers will be able to take a snack break and look for
aquatic macroinvertebrates. We saw lots of insects and butterflies along the trail and we think the campers will enjoy identifying these critters with field guides and writing about them in their nature journals. We aren't able to swim in Canadice Lake due to regulations by the city of Rochester, but we expect the campers will still be able to
appreciate the tranquil beauty of this Finger Lake. (Pictures by Sarah Myer)
