Opportunities to join and support us
As a community-supported not-for-profit, Discover Cayuga Lake offers periodic opportunities for community members to emjoy time on the lake and get to know our organization, with the hope of creating more awareness about our precious water resources and garnering support for our work. Your presence will support our work in Finger Lakes schools and on the water, and our mission “to cultivate informed and equitable relationships with people and the watersheds upon which we depend”. We hope you can join us and look forward to meeting you!
It was a beautiful and peaceful evening and the cruise was so interesting and informative. We were like tourists in our own town, choosing this experience to enjoy my 30th anniversary!
