Mike Skivington
Long time paddler Mike Skivington has passed away. Our deepest condolences to his good friends and family. Below is a message from the Ross family. We will share information about his services when it becomes available.
"It is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Mike Skivington, a beloved friend to us all in the paddling community and beyond.
Mike loved the canoe racing community. He always eagerly planned his race calendar and gathered his team for the months ahead. Anyone who ever had the privilege of paddling alongside Mike knows the incredible spirit he brought to the boat. His boundless positive energy, steadfast encouragement, and quick jokes made every mile on the water unforgettable. He will be profoundly missed.
Arrangements for his service are TBD and will be shared once finalized. Please hold Mike’s family in your thoughts as we remember the joy and camaraderie he brought into our lives."

Rem II - 2025 Race of the Year!
Paddlers present at the annual banquet selected the Rem II as the race they most enjoyed in 2025.
The Remington II is a 6 mile downstream race and tour on the Oswegatchie River from Rensselaer Falls to Heuvelton, NY. The course is primarily flatwater, however there are two short sets of Class I rapids which may be run or portaged depending on the water level. Following the awards ceremony many paddlers choose to paddle back upstream to the starting line.
