CRANBERRY LAKE BIOLOGICAL STATION
FINAL REGISTRANT INFORMATION - 2015
IMPORTANT ARRIVAL INFORMATION
DATES & TIMES
Due to the logistics associated with getting you and your luggage to your base station, we ask
that everyone arrive at the Marina in plenty of time. Please plan to arrive at the CLBS Marina on
Columbian Road (not the NY State Boat ramp, see map). Because of high enrollment, you are
urged to arrive as early as possible! *Boats will begin running at 10:00 am from the
marina.
This means:
Session A. Arrive at the CLBS Marina on Sunday, May 31st, 2015 no later than 3:00 pm
Session B. If you plan to take courses only in Session B, arrive at the CLBS Marina on
Sunday, June, 21st, 2015, no later than 3:00PM.
S e s s i o n C . If you plan to take courses only in Session C, arrive at the CLBS Marina on,
Sunday, July 12th, 2015 no later than 3:00 pm
Session D. Arrive at the CLBS Marina on Sunday, August 2nd, 2015 no later than 3:00PM.
If you are unable to arrive at the marina at the specified times, please call CLBS (315-848-3444)
to let us know your plans. There may be a later boat that could bring you that evening.
Alternatively, you may have to hire the commercial water taxi (if it is available) which charges to
bring you across the lake. You can ask about the taxi in town (e.g., at the Cranberry Lake Inn).
The local residents will be happy to help you. Finally, for those that wish to stay overnight, there
are 2 motels in the village, the Cranberry Lake Inn and the Stone Manor Inn, in addition to the
state campground. The station's address is: Cranberry Lake Biological Station, PO Box 689,
