Could not secure location or alternate so this event is cancelled for 2010

The Canoe-O is on Mogadore Res. owned by the City of Akron and managed in cooperation with ODNR. It is a 1,000 acre lake with about 19 miles of shoreline. The Buckeye trail follows the north and west shores of the lake. It is a beautiful lake with several islands. Motorized watercraft are prohibited.

The event will use the area west of SR 43.

It is a score event with 2-3 classes (canoe, kayak, and maybe even row boats but biased toward canoes). It will include CPs that can be collected by land, by water, and both. In the past there have been underwater controls requiring triangulation.

Navigate the NEOOC website for 2009 canoe-O results with more of a description. USOF also has links about Canoe-O.

The city rents out old aluminium canoes on first come basis for $10. They have about 15. Once the canoes are rented (they go fast!) the city also has row boats (more like rowable barges). Otherwise, bring your own watercraft.

Maps will be waterproof, scaled at 1:13,000, with control punching included on the map.

Elevation changes: on the lake -3 to 3 ft, over land 0 to up to 150 ft.

POISON IVY CAN BE AN ISSUE. Wind on the lake can make paddling difficult.
