Enjoying the Lake

We have been on many field trips, as we call them, since we have been in Canandaigua. Shortly after we arrived here we took a ride (ok, only takes 15 minutes to get there) to Canandaigua Lake to watch Raymond do some fishing and enjoy the beautiful day. While Ray was watching him fish I managed to sneak off and take a few photos from the pier.

This small island, known as Squaw Island is the smallest state park in New York.  It is the birth place of the Seneca Indian Nation.  At one time it was much larger but the elements have reduced it to its current size.  Through the efforts of local citizens it is now protected against current erosion.
