Phelps Run section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II-III+(IV) 3 miles
The Phelps Run section of Flint Creek in New York is 3 miles long and is a class II-III+(IV) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. The put-in is not too far from Seneca Falls, as you can see on the road map further down. Flint Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling sections, the Phelps Run section is the only one. The wonderful New York scenery and the water flowing gracefully down Flint Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. Whitewater rafting and kayaking in
this state is often more difficult than elsewhere, so if you're not from around here don't forget that rivers here are less forgiving. Getting a good workout and spending some quality time in nature will make you glad you came. You might be into whitewater rafting or kayaking or
both, doesn't matter, this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. Not too many hotels nearby, you'll have to drive a bit to get to one, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. This is a short paddling stretch so you'll have to walk back to the start over and over.
