SUMMARY:Canton Canoe Weekend
DESCRIPTION:In early May each year a weekend paddling event draws as many as 300 paddlers to the Village of Canton\, NY\, tucked in the St. Lawrence Valley\, between the St. Lawrence Seaway and the foothills of the Adirondacks.\n\nCanton was home to John Henry Rushton and his famous boatworks\, founded in 1875 along the banks of the Grasse River.
