The Kayaderosseras Creek Canoe
and Kayak Trail is a beautiful 6.5 mile paddle through
a diverse semi-rural setting. The Creek takes its name
from a Mohawk Indian description meaning the "the
land of the beautiful lake of the winding river".
The trail is navigable from spring to autumn and offers
a relatively mild paddling experience with two opportunities
for whitewater when the river runs high. Five access points
allow all levels of canoeists and kayakers to choose a
paddle for their ability. Traveling east from Kelly Park
in Ballston Spa, the Kayaderosseras winds its way into
Saratoga Lake. The route provides easy access to Saratoga
Lake, Fish Creek, and Lake Lonely for extending paddling
trips. Parking, launch and recovery sites are carefully
placed and spaced, and the trail is near the major highways
of Routes 87, 9 and 50.
