Channel Open

The Association announces the Channel is OPEN. As always, please use with CAUTION. The water depth on approach from both the Bay and the Lake is low.

Please avoid the obstructions (trees) in the Bay side waterway and also note that the South side of the inlet still has a large rocky shoal and the North side barrier bar has been pushed inward substantially and narrowed the passageway.

Barrier Repair

The image to the left is the preferred design for repair of the Blind Sodus Bay barrier as documented in the preliminary engineering report. As reported at the 2021 Annual Meeting, more detailed engineering is proceeding for this concept. You can view the complete March, 2020 preliminary engineering report at the Wayne County Soil and Water District website: https://waynecountynysoilandwater.org/lake-ontario-redi-projects/

At the 2021 Annual Meeting, a letter describing the latest project status, from the Wayne County Soil and Water District Project Manager was handed out for attendees. The letter is attached here for future reference.
