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. The average whitewater rafting or kayaking river tends to be a bit harder to master in this state than those in other states, so if you're not from around here don't forget that many of the rivers here are not very forgiving. This section of Murder Creek is 3 miles long and has been rated as a class II(V+) section by American Whitewater. Great exercise and just being out on the river for a while are sure
to keep you coming back for more. You might have to settle for a hotel a bit away from the river if you want to stay the night, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. For all you camping people there are campgrounds nearby. This is the only
paddling section along Murder Creek. This section is quite short so you'd better be prepared to walk your kayak back to put-in a few times. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way this is an area with not too many other spots for that. The beautiful scenery of Erie County and the water flowing gracefully down Murder Creek are in themselves reasons enough to come here to paddle.
