Boat route length: 1.9 miles (one way)

Current: weak; may be strong and wavy near the Lake Ontario outlet

Type of boat: motorized and unmotorized car-top boats

Route description: Cattail marshes surround this creek which connects with Floodwood and Goose Ponds and Sandy Creek near its western end. As you pass Goose Pond on your right, you'll see a colony of bank swallows nesting in the sand dune on your left. Keep your distance from this colony since bank swallows abandon their nests when disturbed. This boat route ends at the outlet for Lake Ontario.

How to get there: The South Sandy Creek boat launch can be found on the west side of Route 3, just north of the South Sandy Creek bridge. A handicapped-accessible fishing pier and rest room are located at this site.
