No matter if you're whitewater rafting or kayaking there are not so many other good spots for
    that around here. And of course, there are campgrounds nearby. This is a very short section so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. The natural beauty of Monroe County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are in themselves reasons enough
to come here to paddle. Erie Canal doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Lock 32 Whitewater Course stretch is the only one.

A good workout and a chance to spend some time outdoors are sure to keep you coming back for more.
