The starting location is a reasonable drive from Ithaca, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The nature scenery of New York and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream have people coming here.

is an area with plenty of rivers for that. This is one of a small number of paddling stretches in this river system, there are a few others too. The Cornell Plantations to Beebe Lake stretch of Fall Creek in New York is 1 miles long and is according to American Whitewater a class
