Directions
The Lock 32 Paddling Center is located at 2797 Clover Street, Pittsford, NY, 14534 and is well marked on Google Maps and Waze. I can’t vouch for other navigation applications.
The paddling center entrance is on the west side of Clover Street, South of the Erie Canal. Think just north of the YMCA at the intersection of Clover & Jefferson.
YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO to the New York State Lock 32 Canal Park/Erie Canal Heritage trail access accessed from the intersection of Clover St. and on the Northwest side of the canal with an entrance at the intersection of Framingham Lane and Clover St. This is on the opposite side of the Erie canal from the Lock-32 Paddling center!
You also do not want to down the driveway that runs south of the canal and goes to the lock keeper's house. There is a sign "NOT THE KAYAK PARK" on the driveway to lock keeper's house.
