Lock 32 Whitewater Course section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II+ 0.14 miles
The beautiful scenery of New York and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream make the trip here worthwhile. The put-in location is a short drive from Rochester, as you can see on the road map further down. Whitewater rafting and kayaking spots in this state tend to be more challenging than the national average, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that lots of rivers here are not for beginners. This section of Erie Canal is 0.14 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II+ section. You can pitch a tent or park
your RV at a nearby campground. This is the only paddling stretch along Erie Canal. This section is very short so it's not like you're gonna spend hours on the river in one stretch. If you'll be staying in a hotel you're in luck, lodging is available very near the river, but if
you don’t have reservations you might end up sleeping in your car. Getting a good workout and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came.
