Join us for a one-hour introductory bird walk. No experience needed – just bring your own curiosity. We will show you how to use binoculars/monoculars, spot our feathered friends, and introduce you to the common birds in our area. It’s the perfect way to enjoy nature, learn something new, and have a great time outdoors. Whether you’re a budding birder or just looking for a fun activity, everyone is welcome.
We will meet at the pavilion at Corbett Park, (155 Clark Street, Brockport, NY) and there is parking in a small lot on Smith Street by the bridge. Dress for the weather, wear comfortable shoes that can get muddy or wet, and bring your own water bottle. We have a limited number of optics to share, so bring a pair of binocular/monoculars if you own them. Please leave your pets at home. This does not apply to service dogs.

Our bird walks will take place at 7:00 am on Saturdays, September 7, 14 and 21 in order to take advantage of fall migration. If the weather is prohibitive, we will try again at 7:00 am on the next Sunday. We will notify you by email if this occurs.
Bird walks are open to participants age 10 and up. If under 18, you must be accompanied by an adult. An ASL Interpreter can be requested with four (4) days’ advance notice in order for us to place the request in a timely manner. Please send your request to us at otcbrockport@gmail.com

The Village of Brockport is offering this free adventure through a partnership with the NYS Canal Corp. and New York Power Authority and their On the Canals program.

Drinks, snacks (for purchase), and bathroom are on board. No outside food or drink is allowed onboard. The cruise will depart from the Welcome Center, 11 Water Street, Brockport, NY, where municipal parking and accessible bathrooms are available. There will be three free cruises offered Saturday, September 21 at 11:30 am and 1:30 pm and Sunday, September 22 at 9:30 am.
The Sam Patch has three steps to navigate in order to board and disembark the vessel. We can accommodate walkers if the passenger can receive assistance (from a member of your own party). There is limited space on board to move around with a walker, but this can be accommodated if needed. The onboard bathroom can accommodate a walker, but the bathroom is small and might not be able to also accommodate a caregiver. Please contact us at otcbrockport@gmail.com prior to your cruise regarding your accessibility needs. This allows us to prep the boat prior to your arrival and accommodate any other accessibility needs on board the same cruise.
An ASL Interpreter can be requested with four (4) days’ notice in order for us to place the request in a timely manner. Please send your request to us at otcbrockport@gmail.com.
Boarding starts 10 minutes prior to departure time. There is seating inside and a small bench on the bow.
We will go out rain or shine. The captain maintains the final say whether a cruise will be canceled due to inclement weather.
If you have any questions, please contact us at otcbrockport@gmail.com.
