The starting point is not too far from Ithaca, please print out a copy of the road map further down the page so you won’t get lost. There are nice comfortable hotels here, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is a short paddling stretch so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The
    scenic beauty of Tompkins County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water beats anything. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that quite a few of the sections here are not
easy. This is the only paddling section along Cascadilla Creek. Getting a good workout and just being out on the river for a while are great reasons to come.
