Erie
county,
Akron section whitewater kayaking, rafting, and paddling information.
CLASS II(V+) 3 miles
The beautiful scenery of Erie County and the playfulness of the water will make you feel great. The starting location is a reasonable drive from Batavia, there's a road map further down the page with more info on that. This section is quite short so better bring some good walking shoes. Some people prefer whitewater rafting and some kayaking, either way there are not so many other good rivers for that around here. The nearby hotels are a bit away from the river, but do book a room before you come because it is a very popular destination. Whitewater rafting
and kayaking in New York is often tougher than elsewhere, so if you're visiting here do keep in mind that rivers here are less forgiving. Great exercise and a chance to spend some time outdoors will have you coming back for more. This stretch of Murder Creek is 3 miles long and
is a class II(V+) section of whitewater according to American Whitewater. Murder Creek doesn't have a lot of paddling stretches, the Akron stretch is the only one. The campgrounds here at Murder Creek are pretty good.
