127 south.
Turn left onto Jefferson Road at the light, about 10 mi. south of I-94.
About 2 mi. later, turn left onto Hayes Drive (which is the first dirt
road east of Eagle Point Rd) in front of a large red barn where there
is also a small yellow CLYC burgee sign posted on the corner for your
assistance (see photo below). Please
note that if you
are coming from the east along Jefferson Road, you will first come to
Hayes Road opposite a large church about 1/8 of a mile before
you come to Hayes Drive.

Bear right
at
the fork in the road to enter the CLYC grounds. There is a sign
but as you can see below, it can't be seen until the last second.
.....
.....
Facilities: Launch ramp or
hoist, very
atmospheric clubhouse, washrooms, showers, meals available. CLYC
provides
a fine play area (and babysitting) so that mom and dad can yell at each
other in peace out on the water.

.....
.....
Miscellaneous: Challenging winds
but a
lovely fall atmosphere, fine hospitality, a wonderful club, safe, warm
sailing waters (see steam rising from toasty water in phot below
while
Uncle Al shivers in crisp air of a lovely fall morning!). It
is a unique and exciting experience to share the lake with big fleets
of
Sunfish, Rebels, Interlakes, etc.
This event is
well
worth the 6-hour drive from Toronto. <>..........
