Ellison Park Canoe & Kayak Shuttle
What is the Ellison Park Shuttle?:
The EASIEST way to experience the full beauty and vibrancy of Irondequoit Creek and its wetlands is to hop aboard our Ellison Park Shuttle Bus.
From BayCreek, it’s just a 10- minute drive to our drop-off in Ellison Park and from there you enjoy a 4.5-mile, downstream paddle through the park with its numerous footbridges, under the canopy of trees into the upper wetland, through the Narrows and onto the lower wetlands, right back to our docks at BayCreek. Nature and serenity abound.
