Immediately after will be a picnic: please bring a dish to pass & your own cutlery & beverages of choice. I will bring a grill; if you have meat etc to cook, just fling it on there. So hobble on down!

Directions:

Dwyer Park is on the shores of Little York Lake, just off NY 11 between Homer and Preble. You have probably driven over one arm of Little York Lake on I-81 between exits 12 and 13 many times, and never realized that at several canoe-Os in the past some of the controls involved paddling right under the road.

On I-81 from the North, take Exit 13 (Preble, the exit after the Tully exit), and follow NY 281 south. Look for park sign on the left, a little over 2 miles beyond the center of Preble.

On I-81 from the South, from I-81, take Exit 12 (Homer), and continue on off-ramp to NY 281. Turn right (north) on 281. Continue on 281 to park entrance at sign on the right, 1/2 to 1.5 miles north of Little York.

From Ithaca and points west, follow Rt 13 east and north and run into 281 by the Walmart/Kmart shopping center. Continue on 281 to park entrance at sign on the right, 1/2 to 1.5 miles north of Little York
