Some of the 21 participants in the first organized canoe paddle on Grand Lake depart Bayview Marina on Friday morning. Choppy water shortened the original 9-mile East Bank to West Bank trip to a 3-mile jaunt. The Grand Lake/Wabash Watershed Alliance organized the event to educate the public about the lake and watershed related activities on the 13,500-acre lake.
