New York whitewater - Genesee River, Wyoming/Livingston County

Wyoming/Livingston county, Lee's Landing to St. Helena section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.

 

CLASS II-III     4.5 miles
  This stretch of Genesee River in Wyoming/Livingston County is 4.5 miles long and is rated by American Whitewater as a class II-III section. The scenic beauty of Wyoming/Livingston County and the sparkling of the sunlight on the water are reasons enough to come here and paddle. If you've been out of state whitewater rafting and kayaking you might find the rivers here more demanding, so better not forget that quite a few of the sections here are not easy. A bit of exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors have people coming from far and near. This
    is a pretty decent length section, suitable for an afternoon trip. There are campgrounds quite near the river where you can camp. The put-in location is a reasonable drive from Batavia, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. The nearby hotels are a bit
away from the river, but you'd better reserve in advance because these hotels fill up quick. There are no other sections to paddle along Genesee River than the Lee's Landing to St. Helena section. Since you're on this site you are probably into whitewater rafting or kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that.

Briefly about the general area:
All through the long summer days highs here at Genesee River get into the 80's, and during the night it cools down to the 50's. All through the winter highs are mostly in the
 
30's with temperatures at Genesee River dipping down into the 10's all through winter nights.
Genesee River is a good site of normal precipitation; the wettest month of the year is usually June, that's the one that rains the most while February is the month with the least amount of precipitation.
