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!

Sponsors
This is that rare event that combines the competitiveness of breaking a world record with the generosity and spirit of raising money for a great cause. We wouldn't have been able to do it without our sponsors, a great group of businesses and people who care, and have helped us to showcase the natural beauty of the West Central Adirondacks area.
Thanks to Tickner's, Adirondack Woodcraft Camps, Payne's Boat Livery, and Palmer Point for donating use of their boats, paddles and PFD's. The fees for use of this equipment generated almost $800 which has been donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Thanks also to SUNY Cortland's Camp Huntington for providing canoes for students from Utica College.
Special thanks to the following for graciously allowing us to "Park and Launch" at their locations for One Square Mile of Hope 2011:The Birches, Clarks Marina, Crosswinds Cottages, Joe Dunay, Eagle Bay Village, Holl’s Inn, The Town Of Inlet, Inlet Church Of The Lakes, Inlet Community Church, Inlet Marina, Peters Cottages, Rocky Point Town House Condominiums, Murdock Trucking, Screamen Eagle, St. Anthony’s Church, and BJ Queen Enterprises
