A little history...
Over 1,300 women, men and kids came to Inlet, NY in 2008 and formed the world's largest floating canoe/kayak raft on an open body of water. Our 1,104 boats smashed the record previously set by the city of Cleveland, Ohio. Pittsburgh, PA challenged our record in June, 2010, and is now the record holder with a count of 1,619. A group from the Quad Cities area along the Mississippi challenged the record on August 20, 2011.. they appear to have come close to a new record and we are eagerly awaiting their results. Help us return the title to Inlet!
