Akron section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II(V+) 3 miles
If you're coming from Batavia it's not a long drive at all to the starting location, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. If you've been whitewater rafting and kayaking outside this state you might find the rivers here a bit more challenging, so don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. The beautiful scenery of New York and the beautiful way the water current moves down the stream are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either
way this is an area with not too many other rivers for that. There are no other sections to paddle along Murder Creek than the Akron section. Getting some good exercise and just hanging out with mother nature will make you glad you came. There aren’t any hotels right nearby but
if you're willing to drive a short distance then no problem and if you make reservations in advance you're all set. This is a somewhat short section so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. There's camping available near Murder Creek. The Akron section of Murder Creek in Erie County is 3 miles long and has been rated as a class II(V+) section by American Whitewater.
