On Weds 5/1 we were confronted by a Penfield Parks & Rec authority and informed we could not put in on park property. Considering the 2005 comment by Andy, we were not surprised. However, we were surprised when he also advised us we could not even float down the creek past the park if we put in outside park property. He stated quite strongly that he would call the police if he sees us even passing through on the creek in our kayaks. We did find a couple statements in a Penfield Parks & Rec document that imply the town owns the water in all Penfield parks and no boating of any sort is allowed. However, we also have found A LOT of legal documentation that since it is a navigatible waterway we are entitled to use it. We'll let you know where this all goes.
