We are fortunate to live in the Western New York area and have access to numerous waterways including Lake Erie, the Niagara and Buffalo rivers and many creeks and the Erie Canal. Our favorite and main paddle location is Sherkston Beach on the Canadian shores of Lake Erie (15 miles from Buffalo).

This location provides a variety of opportunities depending on the wind, weather and lake levels. We can experience calm, touring paddles or chest high waves to SUP surf. On the calm days we can paddle to an old wreck or for those who enjoy a longer paddle out to a beautiful old lighthouse.

After a good southwest wind, a natural shallow area ramps up for intense SUP surfing. This is private property so access is limited but interested parties can camp or rent a summer home and enjoy all the amenities of the park.
