Cornell Plantations to Beebe Lake section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS IV-V 1 miles
If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. This section of Fall Creek in New York is 1 miles long and it is classified as a class IV-V section by American Whitewater. There's camping available near Fall Creek. Getting some good exercise and spending some quality time in nature are sure to keep you coming back for more. There are some good stretches to paddle in this river system, the Cornell Plantations to Beebe Lake stretch is one of them.
This is an extremely short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. The wonderful New York scenery and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream will make you feel great. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking,
either way in this general area you'll find lots of paddling rivers. Lodging is available near the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. The put-in is not too far from Ithaca, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that.
